... no games. Slowly alineating paying customers like myself.

What if, you are away and have a game/system failure but no broadband available. You're screwed!
Valve will never go on this machine(laptop that will run any game), so there is a group of games they will never sell here!

I want the CD/DVD for when/if a connection is not accessable. Also just so I have something to show for my money that can be used as I wish.

YMMV.
I will take this another step further. What about those of us who live where there is no broadband avaiable at all? If gaming was to move to all downloadable content, those of us without broadband are going to be left out. I have only ever bought one game online, and that was because it was the only way to get it. It took me 2 weeks to download. If everytime I wanted a game I had to download them, I wouldn't being playing anything and would be in a constant state of downloading.

 Its going to be a long time before its "download only". There will be hybrid "Buy in store or download it".

More companies will probably switch to heavier on the downlaoding in the future because it cuts out the publisher which means you profit more in the end. See: lawsuit against Valve about Steam/HL2.

I do realize that's it a long time off, but I know that when it does come around, broadband will probably be just a dream for me.
