My view is that with a physical copy I own it for life and there's no way for Sony to come and take it away after they decide to "end support" or something. I can (and do) still plug in my ps2 and boot up any of my games from back then perfectly fine, and barring age/wear and tear I can continue to do so as long as I want. I'm also able to go buy old ps2 games from anyone who's selling them, I don't have to hope Sony has Mercenaries 2 on sale for $69.99 even though it's older than a decent chunk of PlayStation users.
