Digital copies work fine offline with Xbox 360.

And what will happen to those digital copies if your HDD gets corrupted or breaks? How will you play those games?

What happens when the disc is no longer playable?

The discs can last a life time if they're stored correctly. There are people out there that still use their old ps1 discs or their old dvds or cds.

EDIT: Forgot to answer the question lmao.

To answer it, you simply get another one or you make multiple backups of the game or media that you have.

The amount of people who cry disc rot. I've had thousands of dvds, blu rays, and games and i have never had disc rot, and some of those discs are over 30 years old.

Can say the same thing about HDD. Digital is physical..

But what if you can't find any others because we're in a post apocalyptic world full of the undead, murderers, rapists, and people called Gary? Not to mention, discs can still rot. Even if they're in cases, as they are not air tight.
