Buy the game digitally or physical?

Discs all the time for me, I just prefer them.

Doesn't the boxed copy just come with a download code?

I usually download my games through Xbox Live.

In that regard, DRM'd physical is pretty much the same, though, isn't it? As long as the publisher holds the key as to whether you can run the executable, you're at their mercy. So the relevant distinction is the one between DRM'd and DRM-free, not digital and physical. With DRM-free digital though, it does make sense to make some backup copies, lest the download become unavailable.

Physical. The only games i download digitally are the ones i get for free with PS+ and the Telltale games. Doesnt hurt that the employees of my local Gamestop are the nicest people ever.
(Giving me a PSP hull for free because they noticed i didnt have one, giving me pre-order bonuses despite me not pre-ordering or pre-ordering too late, and one of them staying a whole hour longer at work than he had to just to help me pick out a game are just a few of the awesome things they did for me. I was really surprised to hear that they have such a bad rep overseas. )

Entirely depends on what's cheaper.

I'm getting it on Origin since there's no Steam or GOG release. I have physical collector's editions of ME2 and ME3, but since all included deluxe goodies of MEA are digital, there's just no point.

Wait....they still sell physical copies of games? Why?

I would like Deluxe Edition on physical copy, but that is most likely not going to happen, so I will buy normal pre-order then I will probably upgrade to deluxe edition on Origin. If that's possible.

Digital, we Argentines are kinda restricted physically

I just don't have room for a physical copy so digital it is! I'm not too overly concerned about not being able to play my purchased games. I've never had a game in my library (Origin or Steam) just go "poof" out of the blue. Except for those "FREE" Origin games. I'm 100% certain I downloaded Mass Effect 1 when it was available for free on Origin but it's no longer in my library. Jerks. However, everything I've actually paid money for is in my list.
