Well this is where my probems lie...

For a few games on the PSN store (one being Guilty Gear Judgement) are being sold as digital downloads at a cheaper price...

However I favor having a hard disk rather than a Digital File (that and that I only have a 1GB mem card), thus meaning I have to pay more dough...

So I need some advice or pros and cons...

PSP community...can I have some pros and cons and your advice on this subject?

I think its better to download it as oppose to the umd's becuase A) You don't need to really worry about losing the hard game B) It's Cheaper. but some of the bad things are that A) you can't trade it in at trade in stores B) It will take memory from you memory stick

In My Opinion i would rather download it because memory isn't a problem and i rarely trade in games

Yeah the downside is you can't trade it in or you could say the game was on there. I'm guessing MSs are cheaper than games though, right?

The games loading time is quicker when running from memory stick vs umd.

pros: MUCH FASTER LOADING TIMES, less battery use, more games on the go in a more convent way, cheaper, save on gas traveling to store, dont have to carry around clunky discs

cons:nothing, sure u cant trade it in but i really dont care.

I know how you feel...I think this weekend I'll probably pick up a 4GB mem card, or maybe 8GB...

anyway, well you guys convinced me...guess I'll be buying the games over the PSN store then...
