It's nice to have a tangible product to go with your purchase, but it seems that most games are tending to go towards the console standard of a single disc and paper thin manual in a tiny DVD case. When that's the case there's very little incentive to pay the extra amount of money as well as take time out of your day to drive to the store (When you don't live in a city center).
I don't see digital distribution replacing the corner store in the near future though. Consoles will ensure that (until they get a widely used and reliable form of digital distribution for big name titles), as will the games you can't purchase off steam or similar services.
