Its not just because they are good enough to keep it's also because most RPG's are really hard to beat in just 7 days.:wacko:
That is unless you have enough time to dedicate most of the day to said games, I sure wish I did.

I beat FF13 in 15 hours in 4 days. Fallout 3 in 8 hours. MOst RPG's can be beaten in 20 hours and 4 hours of gaming a day for me sounds about right. I don't watch T.V. so that frees alot of my time. Those two RPG's actually got me caught up in the world and I did the many sidequests and sercret dungeons. Not to mention FREE DLC for Last Remnant with a huge major dungeon! But yeah, I do not buy many games but when I do they are usually RPG's. And those two original IP's are worth it.
And if you buy a used copy, not new, you can return any used game back to gamestop within seven days for a full refund and within 30 days for a replacement for the same game. I greatly prefer a physical copy, because having an original case is what makes me want to play a game again (I read the back cover, and a minute or two later, I'm like "I forgot how awesome this game was"). I hate steam games only because I'm on dial-up and last time I tried to get on steam, it took over an hour just to get to the login screen, and since I frequently end the steam.exe in the task manager, offline mode very rarely works for me. I also like to collect games, so as long as it takes for me to get the money, I will pay whatever amount to get the games and systems (and dvds) that I like on my list. I have a very long list of dvds and games to get so I will not post it here.
try b4 u buy
Downloading and owning at the same time. :wacko: Steam and GOG all the way. I only prefer a physical copy if it's cheaper than the digital one. Which happens sometimes.
If you meant piracy, I tend to buy most of my games these days.
Owning it is obviously better, but when I can't afford a game (which happens pretty often), I usually download it at least until I can afford to buy it. that, and downloading it gives you a pretty good feel of what the retail game is like. Heck, that's how I got into Minecraft.
Own it. 100%
I don't mind downloading for extremely hard to find games, but I always like to own what I play.
I prefer to own it, but then again for games like Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes, I'm not sure how willing I'd be to shell out £40 for it from eBay. :shrug:
Steam lets you download unlimited times for games, unlike PlayStation Network, having to buy the same PS1 game for every system it's available for, which is another plus for having the physical game if you go through many PS3's or want to play the game on all 3 PS's
