I favor digital because it’s easier to access and share. If you have a physical collection, feel free to display it—show it off :3
I enjoy both formats, but over time I've leaned toward digital. If I had 150 game cases at home, it would be tough to manage. Mostly I keep a few because they're from series I loved or the only versions available back then. I'd like to display them, but I'm currently away. To be honest, the LGR collection is impressive, and Cinemassacre offers a neatly organized selection—LGR feels more like a library with games scattered, while Cinemassacre has everything in distinct areas.
I completely discarded my physical collection after moving. Now my library consists mainly of 421 Steam titles. I own a few Origin games, but nothing substantial to display. I haven’t purchased anything directly from Origin; they were either free games or ported titles using the same key (such as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc.). I don’t really prefer physical items—my books, games, movies, and music are all digital. This has left my space quite minimal.
Largely digital purchases but varies by title and cost. For example, I received BF1 for €45 (pre-order) at a nearby shop while it was €60 elsewhere. I also purchase physical copies for collector's versions, owning several copies of popular titles like Tekken 7, Assassin’s Creed, and Overwatch Soldier 76 statues.
I focus solely on physical Nintendo products. I’ve discarded several of my large PC boxes (sorry about that). I’m mainly a digital shopper.
I used to prefer my physical copies: in the 2000s you really got solid manuals and stuff (The BG2 manual was bigger than most full books). But I have to admit, I enjoy having 254 games more than the 5 to 10 boxed versions I had back then—even though those boxes were nice and came with bonus items.
