Games are moving furiously towards this end. With Steam moving full steam ahead for HL2, its only a matter of time before all games are delivered online. Also, for example, my copy of Star Wars Galaxies. I purchased it the day it came out and enjoyed for awhile but quickly grew bored. I tried to sell the physical media discs to my friend with the cd-key and SOE stated that once the key is activated it cant be transferred. I found this unacceptable and will never buy from SOE again. The right of first sale has been taken from me for no good reason.
