Download only would probably be seen as a way to keep the pirating down, plus it would provide huge incentive to buy your games online instead of buying physical copies.
If were running things I'd make the disc load feature a thing, and then I'd offer the download for a small price ($5 or something). The bandwidth would cost money, and it would keep people from abusing the system should a way to abuse it arise.

every game has a barcode with a serial # on the back, why couldn't they just implement a way for you to punch that in which unlocks the downloadable version?
