With the upcoming release of the PSP Go, Microsoft launching their Games on Demand service, the Steam service on the PC, the continuous release of downloadable games on both PSN and Xbox Live - are we bringing in the digital age of gaming?

Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for each segment? Does it make economic sense for us to go all digital?
