Much rather have the disc than an electronic copy. Also quicker to go to the store and pick it up than to download. When I get tired of it, I can sell the game if I want.
Since I don't get phones too often I wouldn't try one out until others took the plunge. I am excited to see what it looks like and how it functions, etc. I am all for getting more phone types on the market, competition is only good for the consumer.
