When it comes to owning/purchasing a game, which platform do you prefer and why?
It seems to me that a lot of gamers are collectors and appreciate the physical aspects of a game, the case, etc. A lot of people also like the convenience of not having to switch games when they want to play something different.
[spoiler]I'm a bit biased as I sell digital Nintendo games on eBay so I have to advocate their use a lot of the time. But this is unrelated so I can be honest![/spoiler]
For me, I personally feel some games lend themselves to digital forms well (Animal Crossing) while others demand longer investments of time (Halo, for instance). Just my two-cents though.
What's yours?

While I prefer physical, I'll buy digital if it's a deal. I have to account for the loss of intrinsic value from resale ability. Most of my PC games are digital (damn you Steam winter/summer sales!), but I have bought three digitally for the PS4, TLOU, Minecraft, and LBW3. All three were bought at pretty good discounts.
