The fewer things that do nothing but gather dust on a shelf, the better.
Also, ecology, saved time and money: no fuel/fare on traveling to shop or postage (and fuel spent by the delivery service) for having the physical item delivered to you. No plastics and paper the packaging would take (the DVD, the case, the text on it, the box/wrapper in case of mail delivery, the receipt).
Digital all the way. Not just with games, but with e-books as well.
I do still buy a few real books, but I think books are different - games improve over time with technology, but we're still reading plays written by the Romans. (I have both for my Tolkien collection - I love the ability to search my Kindle copy, but if Amazon goes defunct, I've always got a good copy of LOTR.) However, since I read about 100 books a year, it's a huge relief not to have to deal with all the paper copies. Same with games. I've got boxes of games and software that are probably useless, now.
At this stage of life, the challenge is to get rid of stuff, not acquire more stuff. Unfortunately, sorting through all the junk interferes with playing the Sims.
