I prefer the physical disks, as I usualy look for deals. MSRP is just too much for me, and the digital downloads almost always (steam excepted sometimes) adhere to that.
So, while some people paid $5 is MS point for geometry wars, I paid $5 for a copy of Live Arcade Hits vol1. Pacman CE is $10, I paid $15 for the arcade compilation disc from the arcade model. I also picked up Namco Museum for $20, and that included 9 full Live arcade games plus numerouls old games. The $30 Sega compilation would have sold for $300 worth of Wii points if you bought them individualy. The few DLC Arcade games I have I bought on sale, with the exception of castle crashers.
RB/GH songs are about $2 each to pick and choose your own song. But when I buy the disc based games used, I pay on average fifty cents a song. So I may have to switch discs a bit between RB1/RB2/GHII/GHIII/GH aerosmith, but I built up a huge music collection for a lot cheaper.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
