There are plenty of advantages to havings games on discs. Being able to re-sell them being a major one, being able to lend them to friends and family being another. Owning a copy of something that may in fact increase in price over time is yet another. Nevermind whatever value there is in having a game on your shelf rather than a hard drive if you see any in that.

They "may" increase in price, but only a fraction of retail games are that lucky, especially if you open the box to play the game. Most games lose a lot of their resell value, in most cases the few bucks you can get for them ain't worth the effort.



 

On my shelf, I have Moonwalker, Contra Hard Corps, Toejam & Earl 1, Castle Of Illusion, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, Link to the Past, Mega Man 1,2,3,4,5,6 amount countless others. The Genesis games are all "complete in box". All of those games go from 30 to over 100 dollars each on Ebay right now. I have many more that sell for more than brand new games.

My question is, how many used digital titles are selling for over $30.00 on Ebay right now or will in the future?
