Back when Neo The World Ends With You came out, I made a preorder on the only gaming store in my area. Come release day, store canceled the preorder cuz "my area wasnt a key market", the game sild out fast on more urban areas and Amazon wouldn't deliver were I lived. I had to buy digital to play.

Years later, all big gaming stores in my area died, smaller ones had to sell at higher prices to survive and Amazon finally delivered in my area so I got the game at a discount. But I had already gotten a digital copy. At full price.

And I am not even touching the "you have to copy the game to the system in the disk, if I preorder digital it can predownload" can of worms of the Playstation and XBox ecosystem. At least Nintendo usually has all in the cartridge.
