    I think digital distribution has its advantages, but I prefer physical copies.

    I like digital copies in that they are faster to get and everything, but I also enjoy physical copies as they often have neat cover art

    I like a physical copy. I like the security of having the game in my hands. But with the recent unreadable cd tragedy im having my opinion may change.

    Since I grew up with physical discs and stuff and still refuse ot buy me a modern console like PS3 or XBOX 360, I certainly like physical ones more. Also, I'm collecting them, so I need something to hold in my hands, right

    I love boxes but where I live, retail games are either non-existent of super expensive. So I'm going for DDL in recent years.

    well I like having a copy for consoles especially for like retro consoles. But for the pc i prefer digital copies because then i don't have to have a disk in the machine when I play it and it can be re-downloaded easily from steam.

    Theres a certain infatuation associated with buying and unboxing a new game that digital usually can't provide.

    Or at least, its been that way for me for the longest time. With everything going to minimalistic packaging and small carts/DVDs/Blurays, that feeling as starting to diminish. I miss the days where games came in huge, brightly colored decorative boxes. Pokemon HeartGold won me over partially due to this very reason. (Nostalgia, the box, and the fact that its a fantastic game)

    Digital, I either scratch the disk to hell and back, or I just outright lose it
