Why you should only buy physical copies of games and software.

 These days you see many websites and gaming systems that offer quick and easy downloads of games and software. There are many reasons that these companies do this, mostly for cutting the cost of shipping and packaging. This is not always good for the consumer in the long run. Although it may sound good at first, just imagine purchasing a fifty dollar video game from Sony's Playstation Store and then a week later your PS3 crashes and you lose the game. What are you supposed to do? If you purchase hard copies of your games and software you do not need to worry about system crashes or hard drive failures.
