I want to have the CD, regardless of cost.

I can always burn my own CD.

Electronic Download = now without S&H instead of later with S&H

It depends. Does the CD come with a fancy cover?

Does it come with a crisp, very professional package?

I no longer have FOF2. I liked FOF2, but it was a download only. I have FOF4 on a CD. Already 2 computers later, I have FOF4 on my machine. Why? I had the CD.

Also, I bought the CD for TODB after downloading it, and it has a nifty little thing that makes you license it through the internet even though you have the CD. Keeps the multiple copies from happening.

For me, the issue is just the Senator put it: I want to be able to still play a game I paid for years from now, on whatever computer I own at the time. I don't have a lot of faith in the staying power of these licensing companies, and I don't like the thought of losing a game to a computer crash or move.

I'm all for eliminating piracy, but not at the expense of legitimate paying customers.

Seems like a reasonable question to me, so I answered.

Nothing.

But if you had asked me before I had DSL, it would probably have been around $5 more.

CD. After FOF2 and e-license, CD always. Plus, if you like to trade games, the e-license method is a bit tricky.
