In defence of digital games being shat on above.

As someone who physically lost my entire physically ps3 and Xbox 360 library along with my two consoles I can say I prefer digital. I prefer that my physical playstation can cease to exist and I can have everything back up and running and there are a whole host of other beifets, like not needing space, no cleaning disks, you value what you download more than picking something off the shelf, you tend to wait for sales, you're not getting ripped off by gamestop to buy new games when funds are low, you think twice about buying day one based on hype etc. That said, I lost my PS3 digital games with the console too and didn't get them back with PS4 and Nintendo makes me buy Super Mario Bros 3 every time I buy a new system or pay for it through subscription now and have removed access to games onto of that. There definitely is some downsides but they've been and continue to be fixed as we progress, I just like to see Sony and MS do a no questions asked 2 hour or even 1 hour refund.
