[quote name='botticus']It won't do anything to collectors... collectors items have value because there are a limited number of the physical items. Most collectors probably don'tplay the stuff they have. Downloadable copies will not change that, as the people willing to pay $200 for PDS will do so to get the physical game, not the ability to play it.[/QUOTE]
Exactly. Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasies have been rereleased for the Playstation and some on the GBA, but those haven't really suffered as a result. Just because I have the Sonic Mega Collection doesn't mean I'm going to throw my Genesis carts out the window. I wasn't keeping up on them, did the Mega Man X collection hurt X2's and X3's value on eBay?
