Cartridges vs. Discs

[major tom]

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.

Digital Distribution for games.

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

I like cartridges. You don't have to worry about scratching them or fingering them up, and no disc read errors. :)
