Steve Mumford:

and what happens if you have ALL your media on- line but NO access to a TERMINAL???

having a PHYSICAL media will ALWAYS be the most practical way for “quick access” anytime wants to view its own movies ANYTIME.

Most movies are sold around christmas. Pretty hard to wrap up a download in a bow and put it under a tree.

I believe digital downloads will eventually win the “war”.The reason being is that it is portable.People seem to think of now & not thinking about the future.The is no rule about digital downloads being temporary.Same goes for sound & resolution-with the way technology advances do you really think digital downloads won’t advance? In the future, it is very likely that we will have personal websites that will store all our media/entertainment files with a personal login. So you can view/hear the files anywhere you can get internet access.You will also be able to send links of your files to family,friends,etc via email. I do something like this for my ebay customers who buy ebooks/pdf files from me.I believe that cds/dvds/blu-ray will be obsolete in the future because all info will be accessed online.

Thanks Pablo. I think the more people know, the less they end up getting hurt, and not seeing enevitable results.

MJD, I concur with you 100% this is what this types of blogs and forums need people like you to teach them. DD movies still light years away from matching the sound and resolution quality of a blu-ray.

I’ve been an early adopter of new tech for my adult life. I’m on my third HD television. I had VHS and Beta players as soon as they came out. Ditto Laserdisk, Dolby Digital etc…I wised up and waited for the final DVD spec to be ratified. Got a second gen Toshiba the next day. Spent some time buying a few disks at the local Best Buy, as no rental service was available. Got back to the house, jumped on the Web and was immediately slammed in the face with the Circuit City Divx announcement. That little whorefest slowed DVD adoption to a major degree. I’m going to still sit out this latest and greatest for another year. I figure the disks and players will be cheaper. As far as the download prediction, I’m going to file it with the paperless office and the voice controlled computer. Always coming, never arriving.

MJD, why don’t you apply for a job on the website? Or how about you don’t write comments that are fucking 538 words long. Or you could try staying on topic.. Typically, I doubt most Blu-Ray adopters have 200 Blu-Ray discs. But.. I’m sure you have the necessary credentials to make these assumptions…
