Reasonable? It's £17 at Very.co.uk (not shopped around just using this as an example) AND you save 19GB on your HDD 
If its available from a retailer (i.e its not download only) then I never have to think twice about saving my money, and saving important HDD space) 
I so much prefer to have the games on my HDD, what else is the space for? I love being able to scroll through my list of games than fiddle about looking at discs. I try to have just one disc game on the go at a time and leave it in, then have a good selection of other games on my HDD to mess about in.
Disc games are fine if it's a game you'll play, finish and then not pick up again, but a game like ModNation Racers that you'll play with friends and pop in and out of all the time is great to have on the hard drive.

True, but that space is limited, very limited especially with the size of game installs, patches and save data which is what its mainly for. In the future maybe, but not this gen, or the next TBF. You'd never store a lifetime collection of games on a HDD but you can always put another shelf up, or box them up for storage in the attic
Plus you cant show your collection off when they're on the HDD. ''Ooh look at my games collection - I'll just have to power on my PS3 and show you the list though'' 
No manual to sniff 
Nothing to take away with you or if you have a party at a friends house. yes, you can download it but thats restrictive and pointless IMO.
Each to their own though. But that's my point of view on digital downloads for a home console.
