Usually I would expect an OS such as Lion to be available on a hard copy. The Apple retail stores would supply the discs and it would also be available online. Though this has been the case for the past versions of OSX I think Lion will be available through the Mac Apps Store. You would pay the usual price and you would be able to download an app which would upgrade your current system to Lion. I only think this due to the developer previews of Lion being available through the Mac App Store. What do you think?

I think that will be available but you will also be able to find hard copies Apple just won't make as many. Unless you can make a DVD with this "app" then I'm buying a Disk in case I have to install OS X in the future or am wanting to sell my mac. Who knows I might have an issue upgrading and have to reinstall.

It is rumored that it will be sold through the App Store. But if they do that they will also have it available for purchase on a hard copy. CANT WAIT!

well AppleInsider says The Mac App Store, available to all users running the most recent version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, will become the newest method for obtaining the Lion upgrade, people familiar with the matter have revealed. Users will be able to upgrade instantly without the need for physical media by purchasing Lion through the Mac App Store.
