I won't buy physical media any more. I hate the clutter, I hate having to dig out a DVD when I want to play a game, I hate worrying about what happens if my DVD gets scratched, I hate manually downloading and installing patches for different games and I hate being in a different town and wanting to play a game on my laptop but I forgot to install that game on my laptop before I left.
If the price I have to pay for that is an Internet connection, I'm more than happy to pay it, considering I always have an Internet connection anyway.
I will agree with you on the Activation comment but Steam lets you install as many copies of a game as you want on as many computers as you want, no activation required.
For those of you interested in an alternative, Stardock by Impulse offers a similar service.
