I think that we as the hardcore gaming community look at this from a very different perspective than that of the casual gamer. I would say the majority of people play their game and then forget it exists. They either trade in their disc to get the next game, or leave it on their hard drive until they need space, and it never really goes any deeper than that.
As collectors we are in the minority. The value for most people with regard to most anything is in their initial experience. I pay 60 bucks for a 10 hour game, I am satisfied with my 10 hours, as an example. The convenience of digital just allows them to get their 10 hours in a faster more direct way.

Maybe they should learn about preordering games then. I always preorder physical games and usually get them at least 1 day early, but in one case as many as 4 full days early.

If I pre-order a game through Amazon or another mail-order service I typically get it around 2pm on the day of release, so digital would actually be faster for me. Regardless though, pre-ordering is again another thing that mostly is done by those who would be classified as hardcore gamers and not casuals.
