This is the pro and cons i can think of


Pro
1.No need to go and queue to buy the game.
2. less worry of loosing the disk.
3. i can redownload all my game copy if my hd crashed.
4. CD key is preserved and get streamline patch update.
5. just downloadn and put on queue overnight (since using unifi)
6. Go Green. (they dont need to make a dvd for me tongue.gif)
7. Can get promo online. (like BF 3 now priced at 32.50 SGD instead of 60 SGD.
8. super cheap when its sales time cheaper than cpt jack dvd (courtesy of JinXXX)
9. save space (courtesy of advocado)
10.No need to worry disc scratch til cannot read. (courtesy of advocado)

Cons.
1. Download sometime slow but today i checked my download speed is a 700 - 800 kbps (for origin)
2. Take bigger chunk on hd space (but i can opt remove the installation files)
3. cannot sell to others (courtesy of streme21)
4. If you loose your account, you loose all you stuff. (courtesy of advocado)

But the price tag is still the same, even though packaging and logistics are not involved.

now days also u cannot sell.. cause of the online function tied to an account unless u sell it off

which is against the TOS and they can just terminate you

physical DVDs can be put on your shelf. dunno why but it looks damn nice and after few years when you want to do spring cleaning, you'd stumble upon the DVD and then you will go like "man I finished this game few years back. it was awesome". it's part of the fun owning the game, like when you found your old gameboy cartridge and went all nostalgic. the capitalist scums don't care about the nostalgic value, they just want to maximize profit hence the downloading scheme
