Have you seen my game/book/comic/movie collection?! Of course not, I haven't posted any images of those yet. Well, expect for my comics. APPS? KINDLE? WHAT'S THAT SONNY?
Ahem... So yes, I do prefer physical copies. The closest thing there was to "digital gaming" back in my childhood were those shareware games you could play on computers. Still, even though I prefer physical, there are exceptions. Like, for example, computer gaming in general. I rarely (if ever) buy PC games from stores anymore because of Steam. Every game (saves included) being available on your account on any computer you download Steam on is a nice feature. Also if there's something cool for free on PSN, a digital exclusive or a PS1 classic for 5€ instead of the 100€ a physical copy would cost me, I'm inclined to get the digital version. For something like PS1 games it's rare, though. I only have like three or four I've bought from PSN. I used to be big on ROMs when I was a poor kid but now I only ever use them for Let's Plays because it's easier to record your screen than go through with the hassle of capture cards etc. As for movies I love getting them on DVD/Bluray but if it's something I'm not entirely sure about I'll... "internet" it. If I really like it I'll buy it later.
Still, when it comes to console gaming I'm always looking for more stuff to put on my shelves. I have to rely on online stores to get most of my games, partly for the cheapest prices and partly because I don't actually live anywhere near a store that would sell games.
