I think a lot of the value of the boxed edition isn't the physical media - it's 
the support bundled and the manual.  I bought a boxed edition for my first 
install, and have been using the downloaded version since.

And, if creating a new DVD is expensive, would it be possible to create and 
include a CD with the updates (or the core updates) which could be added to the 
box.

p.s. this is no worse than MS (if that's a recommendation).  I recently had to 
get a Vista machine in service, and that took 2 hours of OS patches before I 
started adding in the essential software (Firefox, iTunes, RealPlayer, 
OpenOffice etc.)...
