It's a good idea to provide backwards compatibility (I don't know how you would prove you own the game) if this is impossible otherwise.

Apart from that, I like my physical copies, so I hope this doesn't take off.

To late for the current gen, but could always use one time registration product codes.

Of course then again, someone might just buy the game, use the registration code for the streaming version and sell the disc version.

 

Could always be used for "game renting" as well to try and cut into used games market.

Or just do all streaming to get rid of that, and piracy.  Go the full Diablo 3 route.

I'd say they'd just use the same check as Microsoft does when you install games to the hard drive i.e. you must have the game disc in the tray/slot.
