Seeing how I am speaking about when the servers for the digital purchases inevitably close for the next service, you are screwed both ways if your house gets burglarized or catches fire. However both of these scenarios are extreme circumstances and seeing how far you had to reach just proves my point.
If you are leaving your CDs around where they can be stepped on, you are not caring for them properly. So this is a pointless argument. It would be like keeping your PS4 in a closed box with no room to breath let alone ventilate and then using that as an example for console failure. It is illogical.
However servers do close. PSP servers are gone, DSi gone, Wii shop gone, and PS360 will be next. When that happens and the HDD fails due to a short lifespan, your collection is gone. If a disc or cartridge goes for whatever reason, I only have to replace that one game.
I will take reliability and longevity over convenience anyday. It does not take long to change the disk or cartridge. |
To each, his own.
My game room looks like a Gamestop. I couldn't even keep them all on shelves and had to start putting games in crates. True, I still have my ps1 games and memory cards from 1996 but I've made the switch. I've been doing it "your way" for decades but there's no going back for me now. Like with music and movies, I'm pro digital. There's just too many benefits. I even buy digital comic books, nowadays!
I guess I'm not a serious collector anymore. :(
