I'm not physical only for games, but still am for music and movies. I do stream movies as well but that's replacing rentals. I've never bought a digital move but I don't rent movies anymore. For music I either buy CDs or listen to the radio, FM still. Never used Spotify and the problem with movie streaming is the fragmentation. At least Blockbuster used to have everything under one roof. Now it's figuring out which streaming service has what.
For games I still prefer physical. Installs faster, can delete without worrying about long re-installs. And good to have a set of games I can play during internet outages. Plus it's easier to find games, easier to share, and have resale value. No hassle with emulation either, just pop in the disc in the old system.
It also taught my kids valuable lessons to take care of stuff. You want to keep playing games, don't misplace them, treat them right.
Digital is also more distracting, too easy to switch to a different game when you hit a rough spot. With physical there is a bit more incentive to stick with a game and finish it instead of starting dozens of games and never really playing through anything. All the time having to look for what to delete to be able to update large digital games.
