For consoles I can't see it working well on a massive scale for a while longer.
For PC it's already great, Steam's great. I can download a game like TF2, burn it onto as many DVDs as I want and play it on as many PCs as I want, all legally. And if I bought it in a store I still have the digital rights and can always download the game if I lose my disc.
The benefits are so great, I see no point in buying a pointless DVD. There is virtually no worry about Steam ever dying, and if they went out of business or something, they have stated that all the rights will stay with the buyers.
Something like this could work with consoles, but there's a lot of hurdles to jump.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
