Cartridges or optical discs?

I've never honestly given a shit. I want to play the game, I don't care what the box art is or what the format is once I hit start. However the moment a medium starts to limit what a game can do, that's where I have a problem with it. 

All I know is this bullshit basically handed the entire console market to Sony for essentially no good reason and for that reason I dislike it becoming an issue.

This format nonsense ended the NES/SNES era, and IMO that was the most glorious intersection of great 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party support on any platform, and I will always be a little bitter over that because we will probably never have that ever again. 

Damn! . . ."slowly claps and nods in an agreeing manner".

On topic, cartridges, cause of durability.
