That's what I'm hoping. Like a DS game card, or something.
It's only when a game is entirely digital that I start to worry. Like, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, it's a fantastic Double Dragon homage that used to be available on PSN and Xbox Live. Then they took it down, because reasons, and since it never got a physical version, the game is just lost. Along with The Simpsons Arcade Game, and all that other stuff pulled from XBLA.
It's not a problem with it being digital, it's a problem with copy protection. If you have an hacked PS3 it's easy to backup your copy of the game (or get a new one by... unofficial means).
This is true. Which is why my favorite game delivery method these days is GOG. Being able to back up the original install files on any number of discs or drives means I get to keep my games forever, and it'd be really nice if something like that were an option for console owners.

Hey, we can all dream. :)
