On consoles, mostly physical unless the digital is really cheap.
I mostly buy digital on PC because it's really cheap. And that's fine with me. I'm getting to play the game at a great price. But I have to wait a long time from buying the game to actually play it because games today are big and my internet connection is good enough, but not great. If I had all physical PC games, I could uninstall a game without worrying about wanting to play it later and realizing it's not there. As it stands, I can't just play a lot of my PC games "on a whim" because they're not downloaded or installed.
This problem can be fixed by buying enough storage space for all of your games, but I don't really want to spend that money.
So, yeah, one of the advantages of consoles is that I (mostly) can just toss the game in the disc drive and I'm playing pretty quickly. Again, having to download stuff is a small price to pay for the cheap prices, the faster framerate, the higher resolution, better graphics, all that fancy stuff, but just having it there at all times is something I kind of miss.
