digital downloads will never take off. People want to "own" a movie. they want to show it to their friends, they want to watch it 5 months later, they want to have a small colelction. HD downloads are nothing mordfedf then a rental srvice. There is drm on these which means you dont get to keep them. Unless they start HDF downloadds without drm and ability to keep, I cant see blu-ray/hd-dvd failing in any way (the winner at least) because people will always want to own something to keep. And like I said, we all like having a physical copy to lend/burrow with friends. A digital download becomes very impersonel.
