Still though, DD is handy when I don't feel like going to game stop or best buy. One note on the, "needing terabytes to get a decent collection of games". If the Moore's Law holds, (which supposedly, in processors, they are going to hit a wall in size(nanometers wise) around 2020) 10 Terabyte HDD's wouldn't be out of the ordinary when the next consoles roll around.

Not an IT guy, I just work for a company that sells internet. Pet peeve of mine to see people spread misinformation about internet connections :P I twitch every time I hear someone say "Megabytes per second" instead of "Megabits per second".

Size is an issue for game storage. That's beside the point though. From a collectors standpoint I love cases, I love the box art (and have an appreciation for it as well), and I love the disc art. I love the collectors edition extras and cases I can get. I especially love staring at the stacks of cases as well and picking out what I want. Having entirely digital collection for my games (I admit, I have quite a collection of PSN games) just would feel... wrong, like I'm being ripped off.

The same goes for blu-rays. I only buy a physical copy when I really like the movie. A "these are the best" collection of mine if you will. If I lost the disc I'd be heart broken. I admit though I have quite a large collection of digital movies and TV series growing... I still keep the best on disc though.
