Or a hybrid.

I bought a copy of F1 2011 for PS3 and fired it up. In order 
to access certain areas of the game, I had to input a code 
when signed up to the Sony PlayStation Network, which was 
verified via the Internet.

If I had no connectivity, I'd never be able to access those 
portions of the game.

Needless to say, a lot of games are now pushing massive 
updates via the Internet; on the order of hundreds of MB.
