On consoles, absolutely, it's a fairly rare occurrence for console games to only be released digitally. On PC... it's becoming very common that, even if you buy a game on disk, you then have to 'validate' the install by logging it into Steam or Origin (if it's an EA game) or Battle.Net (if it's a Blizzard game). You pretty much can't play those games unless you have an account on the relevant service. But you don't need to download the game through that service, so there's no reason to give them credit card details for example.
