I'd switch in a heartbeat against a digital only console. I love having the freedom to buy or sell things I paid for. Digital things aren't tangible and can be revoked without notice, similar to how online only games have a lifespan.

On top of that, certain games become more valuable over time depending on how rare they are. I like the collecting aspect of it, I'm not so lazy that swapping discs becomes a nusiance

no amount of brand loyalty would sway me on this.

I loooove physical media (seriously my collection is a little out of hand) but the answer is probably "yes" considering that, at this point, my PC is basically digital only. I never go out to buy PC games anymore, so I'm pretty much already having that experience.

Depends what you find advantageous I guess. I love not having to fiddle around with discs, especially now that games require a full install anyway. My kids can't scratch or break my digital copies and digital games can always be found way cheaper on PC (my main gaming platform). Now that you can get refunds for digital games I  have absolutely zero reasons to buy games on disc anymore.

I've been all digital since 2009 unless a game just didn't come out that way. In fact, I have even skipped games because they did not have a digital release, but stated a digital release was coming.

If Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo put out a digital only console, I would buy it day one, just to support digital only consoles. I don't want a disc drive, and I never want to buy a physical piece of media again. The soon the drive is gone, the soon content providers will have to release thier content via PlayStation Video, Amazon, Vudu, etc., and IMO thats a good thing.

You're missing my point, you have that NOW.  A digital only console won't give people that or enhance that, it will only TAKE AWAY other options. A digital only console is only and can only ever be a loss.  

And people who think the vanishing of physical media will somehow lead to some reinvention of the industry into a paradise for the consumer are kidding themselves.  If anything, physical media and the expectation of that option and the implications of that option keep these companies honest.  Remember how Konami began trying to whipe PT from history?  What do you think stops Activision, EA, or Ubisoft from doing that to, say, Assassin's Creed II or Mass Effect 1 to 3?  Physical copies.  They can't just go and take those from people and stores.  But digital only?  Now the preservation of games is purely at the mercy of the publishers.  They can delete them from all legal servers and via DRM programs could even compel the deletion of the software from most systems.  So if they decide to, say, remaster a clasic game you can get the standard version of on something equivalent to the virtual console, certain companies may decide to just obliterate the original version form the world to force fans to buy the new version if they ever want to play it again.

That might sound sleezy and super dirty, but if you think the entire industry is above that, you are very, very mistaken.  On PC, the very open nature of the platform checks this.  That and the fact that Valve happens to give a crap.  But on the walled gardens of consoles they could mandate the whole thing as platform-wide.  

Am I saying things would necessarily go that bad?  No.  But going all digital opens the door, staying mixed does not.  There is no advantage to removing physical, only potential losses.  

For me the only advantage for physical is the trading/resell aspect.

In my case, I don't care, I rarely buy games on day one. I buy lots of older games with price cuts on PSN/eShop.

Let's not forget a third big hurdle besides users not wanting to lose choices and the ones with slow connections: retailers. With DD-only consoles they'd lose SW sales, so they wouldn't like and support them as much as they do with consoles that generate physical support SW sales, moreover, for the same reason, they'd demand a larger profit margin than now.

Bump. Ladies and gentlemen vote! Brexit or bremain? Pardon, rather, digital-only or digital and physical?
