In terms of owning it physically, it doesn't matter that much to me.

The issue with not having DLC on a physical disk is, say the Xbox for example, years down the line, DLCs and game updates will stop beig hosted on their servers anymore and access to this content will be impossible for legitimate customers. I use the Xbox as an example as there have been various DLC removed from the XBL server. One I can think of off the top of my head is the DLC for Naruto Rise of a Ninja. The DLC for that game can no longer be downloaded. Even from your purchase history. So if your HDD packed in and you decide to get all nostalgic down the line, you'll still be able to play the original Unpatched version of a game, but DLC is a no go and if the original version is pretty much unplayable without the patch, what can you do then?
This is why I am against DLCs and other digital content which aren't available on disks. Including patches. Atleast with GOTY or complete editions, I will always be able to play the games without the worry of patches and such.
