    Physical is sometimes more convenient when using friends' consoles, but digital is probably preferable for using handhelds on-the-go

    Physical of course, I can install/play them without internet access and sometimes even when servers are down or literally gone, you can even sell it or lend to a friend. Example of digital games that I've had have but later were mostly unplayable: Driveclub. I only buy digital games when there's no physical copy or it's VERY cheap or it's on 80-90% discount.

    I think digital is great if it doesn't have DRM, but having physical copies of a few select favorites is a good practice.

    It's a funny capitalist joke: sometimes players think accounts are private property, but when game companies no longer support servers, players aren't always able to protect their property, electronic data is just that. How many people do you think would be as loving as yourself? If it's not a lot, you'd better keep the property on hand.

    Digital copy so there is no need to keep changing cartridge and doesn't need to carry all the games around.

    Los juegos siempre en físico, el juego en digital esta muy bien pero el físico siempre se puede revalorizar.

    Physical copies are unfortunately not the trend enymore. Digital is the future, but you don't own anything anymore. Even if you have the disc of the game you buyed years before.

    Unpopular opinion on this site, but digital. Physical copies are a pain; they take up a lot of space and get scratched beyond playability because I'm always too lazy to fool with cases

    Hi

    I'm sad that little by little digital is gaining over physical.

    Physiacal for me.

    Reality consists of endless strings of quantum binary qubits, with the advent of quantum computing the distinction between the physical being made digital and the digital being 3D printed will be none. I'll just manufacture 1:1 clones of consoles and cartridges or CDs in the future, there really was no difference between binary reality or binary media in retrospect 30 years from now.

    Prefer digital because easier to backup. And don't have to worry about cart bitrot or cdrom scratches.
