I think you folks need to take into consideration, this will be a transitional generation.
Everyone has to give up something in order for it to work.
Also, a disc-less purchase system doesn't exclude retailers. As I have been preaching for ages now. Retailers can be included with digital kiosks. The customer comes in, sticks a USB drive into the kiosk, and purchases the content. In the process, they get a manual.
Or there will still be the desire for Special or Limited Editions. Maybe one day when everyone has 3D printers the need for retailers will be negated, but I think that's a ways off.
