Well i have to agree with Killiana1a, you are under a lot of control and i also don't feel right having my games only on my hdd.
For example say that the next gen consoles are only DD and games are now 30gb minimum. I have my console for 2 years and i have 15 games and 5 HD movies on, but because i'm unlucky my console or hdd breaks down . I'll have to wait a month to download all my content again, especially in my country were internet connections are slow, expensive and sometimes get a cold and work very slow.
Another reason that I don't like having this strict control over the software i buy is that say Valve for some reason gets bunkrupt or their servers get attacked by aliens and giant robots with flamethrowers (very few chances that these things happen:P but I just want to state that something can go wrong with a company), i won't be able to access my content again if my hdd or console fails.
Some part of this could be solved if they provide consoles with disc burners (i doubt it, it would be too expensive), but again I will have my Blu ray R's sitting there looking ugly with my handwritting on them instead of the original discs with their cover art, manual or some collectors edition game.
Game and movie packages have their charm!
