I plan to get the box games. My wifi is kinda bad here at home. lol And well... I have bad luck with systems...
I have 2 DS, 1 DS Lite, 1 DSiXL, and 1 3DS. The DSiXL and 3DS are fairly new (about a year or so old). But the other three... Well my first DS just stopped working all together, I don't know what the heck happened. The second one does technically work but the hinge is broken and it's really annoying... The DS Lite has the same issue and now the screen is all wonky too... lol I am just too afraid to download a whole game to a system that might not even last me all that long. I usually try to be careful but sometimes things happen even if you are careful.
Besides, it just wouldn't be the same without the box... lol
And I suppose if I REALLY wanted to, sometime down the line, I could always get a digital copy in addition to my physical copies. And if I ever get the money for, say, a 3DSXL, I could totally trade with myself and stuff that way too. lol

The digital games... Do they have all the same functionality...? As the box games. I mean, you know, I should HOPE so... XD But you never even know. lol
