Some enterprise software used to (or maybe still do) use USB dongles for licensing... I'm honestly wondering if games are going to move that way too. Given the fact that practically every game needs a launch day patch, why even have a DVD/Blu-Ray if instead you could just have smaller, more reliable USB dongles? I suspect that in the next generation or two of game consoles, we'll no longer see discs at all.
