>>21069821One strong advantage not mentioned above for digital is that if you're like me, you take your 3DS with you everywhere. The problem there is that you might click down on the cart when it's in your pocket. Just pray that IF that happens, you had saved it before closing the system, otherwise you'll force close the game. I had registered a 3DS and Animal Crossing New Leaf on Club Nintendo when Nintendo was running a promotion for a free digital X or Y so I now don't have the aforementioned issue. I have also never lost my save even after once upgrading SD cards. I'm just hoping I don't break my 3DS before I can buy the New and improved 3DS XL Nintendo just unveilled.
