Digital downloads Vs hardcopies

chanste · 2010-08-02 15:24:16

So what do people think on the issue of digital downloads (Steam etc) vs hardcopies? I have been using a PC for games since the mid 90s (The 7th guest anyone?) and it had occurred to me what a good idea steam was when I considered how many of my games I could still find after all those years.... I'm sure I bought 40 or 50…
