In short

Cons:
1. You can't sell the game
2. You can't loan out the game
3. Playing the game on another system is doable, but not hassle free
4. Takes up disc space

Pros:
1. You can't lose the game
2. You can't break the game
3. It can't be stolen
4. You can buy the game from anywhere without going to a store.
5. In some cases - no sales tax!
Digital and Physical take up the exact same amount of space on the hard drive. The disc is just used to verify you have the game. Another pro is that Xbox One has game sharing through the use of the Home console setting. I only have to pay for half of a game since I game share with a friend. Buy it on one console, get it for both. There will likely also be a digital marketplace in the future where you can sell and loan your games on the Xbox One as well.

Re: Buy the game from marketplace?

The Thing about buying games off the PSN or Xbox Marketplace, is that you have to wait until 3AM EST to download it. the only market that doesnt affect is the west coast people cause it will be 12PST midnight. i usually want to play at midnight, but cant cause of the damn timing that they're available at, so if its your only way. then why not?

Not with preloading. You can preload 2K starting that Sunday I believe and then come midnight Monday, just start playing.

Well for Xbox One Members, you can pre-download it, but you cant start playing until 3AM that Tuesday.
