It is not that most of us want digital media to overtake physical media... it is that we are tired of the largest distributor of physical media fucking us over. Why do people not understand this? We want to spend our money in an environment where the employees share the same passion we do. We want to get games at amazing prices and wonderful deals. But Gamestop fucking sucks. Their policy of selling opened games as, "new" and lying to customers about everything to meet quotas that should not fucking exist along with hiring sales people and straying away from hiring people with true gaming knowledge and neglecting big game releases simply because it comes out on a Nintendo console has gotten old. Their audacity to blame customers for their stupid policies and practices instead of building encouraging programs and relationships is what the consumer is saying a collective, "no" to. We are not saying we do not want to buy new and used games... amazon and ebay sales will show you that is a lie; rather, we are saying we are tired of the biggest, and most robust option in the market taking advantage of its consumer base.

We are not saying no to physical media, we are saying no to Gamestop. Do not, and I repeat, do not mix this message. Do not say physical media is in jeopardy because Gamestop is in jeopardy as they are not the same. Give us a better option and watch things change.

Online is killing Gamestop as well. Amazon has done more harm to them than digital downloads. 

I haven't been in a Gamestop in years and have no reason to be. Unless you're a certain age, I thought most people would know the deal by now. It's an unsustainable business model that's going to implode as soon as gamers choose convenience over physical media full stop. Everything I've heard about the Circle of Life program sounds like a company in its dying stages that was way past its prime anyway. If they're that desperate for your money, then chances are they should have been closing up shop a long time ago.

Yes.  Digital sales have increased every years since they started.  That's does not mean that people are ready to go all digital.  

My point was that just three years ago, when MS talked about going all digital, gamers freaked out.  And the fact that MS intended to allow for resale rights to digital games still wasn't enough to sell them. Had MS gone ahead with their plans, I think we would basically be in that all digital future right now.  But, too many of us freaked out, MS got scared, and progress slowed on the move to digital.  

I think we're 5 years away.

Why are some of you vested in Microsoft or whatever publisher getting more money from you digitally?
What is the evidence physical media keeps digital game prices high? Do you really expect digital game prices to decrease if we go all digital? Why?
What about the employees in disc, plastic manufacturing etc.?
Why do we not hold consumers accountable for accepting crappy trade-in practices?

The only problem with your argument is that companies are still selling them at $60 digitally. Until they decide to reduce cost, people will not be enticed to buy digital.

P.S. I also think the days of Gamestop are numbered but not because of digital sales, rather because of Amazon/ebay type of sites.

There's no reason for them to drop the price. Because their's no competiton, in a digital store. And why do people keep complaining about used games. The game that's sold, is the same copy, that was purchased. If you're gonna complaina bout used market. You also have to complain about websites like Ebay. And people on their own. selling their copy. How about Nintendo sell used games, at Nintendo world. If they so much want that money. Or even used digital games, huh.

I'm so ashamed.
