To be honest, I'm kind of the opposite of a lot of people here. I feel much safer with digital releases. Name a PC game, it can easily be downloaded and played on anything.

Try playing a lot of Sega Saturn games on anything but a saturn. Physical media will deteriorate. It becomes difficult to collect for. 3DOs are getting difficult to find in working order. Jaguar CDs are even worse. Not only that, but the adhesive in CDs will corrode and become impossible to read. That is a big problem with Laser Disc now.

Digital is the easiest thing to pirate and I have a lot of faith in pirates. If I purchased something on steam and then had issues using it, I do not see any problem emulating or looking for a way to break it. In that way, digital is very archive friendly. Multiplayer with severs could change a bit of that though...

I've tried running a digital PC game copy burned to disc on a sega saturn and it kept asking me for a saturn disc.. why why must you lie.... j/k

Having a larger collection and mainly to reach 666 games (short term goal)
getting the Onmimishu series on xbox
finishing off the nes series megaman to move onto snes series megaman
fixing the Zaxxon Arcade Cabinet and installing the power supply to get it up and running
collecting some games I've missed this go round because of how expensive they are

there is more but this are my essentials at this time

lol, space I remember the boxes where these huge things that took up space and then they went to this little small sized box to nothing at all.. As for me I don't mind physical or digital as long as I've got the game. That in itself is reason to enjoy what the creator wanted. It is still apart of collecting in my mind physical or digital because you do have it or you wouldn't be playing it... right?

As for the green man gaming - thank you for that.. I've been using Steam and Gamefly for my Digital copies and have a good selection in Steam already..mostly indie games though
