While I do prefer physically too, this is absurd. At least in the case of the 360, you can make a backup copy of your games and upload it on your PC. And I doubt all indies can make up for more than 60 GBs of space. (Which some 360 haven't got, yeah, but most of them nowadays are equipped with 250GB).

You can't just copy your digital games off your 360, you have to transfer the liscence which requires the servers to be online.  Also if you buy ALL your games digitally then even 250GB can fill up quick.

Touché.

But regarding to the non-bolded part, you can back-up your digital games off your 360. As long as you put the data back in the 360 with the licenses (Because the licenses are permanent on your hard drive, not because the servers are online) you can still play them.
