Tangible Purchases for XBLA?

As much as I love being able to download my games, I was wondering if tangible purchases were ever going to come about for our favorite games, like Sam and Max, Wallace and Gromit, and (foreseeable favorite) Monkey Island?

Much like the Sam and Max season two disc for PC, I feel like having a physical box and disc makes it really feel like you own it. Along with a menu for episodes and bonus content, it doesn't feel like you're missing out. (And you can actually snuggle with it)

Call me crazy, but would this be something Telltale would ever doing for XBox owners?

    Considering there's no sign of a SBCG4AP Season One disc for the Wii, probably not. That said, it may still happen. Monkey Island is plausable, however. (Source: the fact that both seasons of Sam & Max are coming to the Wii, and the Wii missed out of them first time around. But then again, they could just release it for the Live Arcade again.)

    I'd say if any physical disk materialized it would be a retail copy that you'd have to buy again. They've said numerous times that there's no way to track the digital distribution to consoles in an effective manner to be sure you actually own it. I'm not saying no chance of it happening, but you'd more likely than not have to buy it all over again.
