I seem to like cartridges more.
-Recently have become very compact, look at a DS game
-You don't have to worry about scratches and poop
-Saves the data in the same place as the game, rather then on a seperate memory
-Retro 8)
The only disadvantages is that it costs more to make than a disc, and the graphics aren't as good. But who gives a intercourse , DS graphics are great.
cartridges, but only because they're retro. CDs are better in every other way.
I don't really trust CD's as much as cartridges/SD cards.
Moving media ftl :(
Touching a disc the wrong way is like trying to pound beef with a newborn baby's head, so I'm gonna go with cartridges, just because they're tougher.

Since when was media type a factor for graphics? ????
Discs are cheaper to make and have more space. Only idiots need to worry about scratches.
Still, I wouldn't mind having games on SD cards.
Cartridges because they are very stable. My NES and SNES games still work and I've dropped a couple before. Discs can get a tiny little scratch and won't work at all. They are a higher maintanance to clean and can break easily. They should go back to the cartridges if you ask me.

I don't have to worry about scratching discs or carts getting too dusty.

Games being saved to an account over the 'net. Don't have to worry about HDD failure, I can just redownload games.

Hmm... Dial-Up.
I like cartridges. You don't have to worry about scratching them or fingering them up, and no disc read errors. :)
I liked carts better, they were tough, they work in the most extreme conditions, and they have that cute little sticker on them....
and they are stack-able.
Carts. Retro = Awesome.
Also, cleaning it is awesome. No EXPENSIVE disk cleaner. Nope, just eject, blow on it, and pop it back in!
Carts are waaay better because when you are done just take it out and litrally toss it asside and get a new one. ;D
Depends what we're talking about here.
Mobile or Home?
Computer or Portable system?
What kind of Cart or Disc?
etc.

The only thing is that it could eventually rust. It didn't happen to me yet though.
I only picked discs because they're easier to copy.

What do you mean?
Either way.
The concept is pretty much the same (for both).
etc.

DD sucks.
Really. I like having things physically. A stack of carts or discs is awesome, if you think it sucks, you're just plain laaame, maaan.
Would you rather buy an album on a CD or on iTunes at the same price?

Sadly, buying music/ games in a store is dying.
I don't like DD because I like having a physical discs.
