What a stupid headline. First of all, will the PlayStation 8 have holographic disc capabilities? It's about just as much conjecture to discuss that.
Secondly there's just no way the mass market will have fast enough data connections for streaming video, even 10 years from now. Do you realize how many millions of Americans still use an antenna for TV? I'm talking rabbit ears damn it!
Third, all you have to do is loose your iTunes library once due to an HDD crash (or any other reason) to learn that yes, physical discs are just better. How about taking a movie over to your friend's house? Or better yet, a video game? Good luck doing that with downloaded content.
Who is this jackoff Don Reisinger anyway, and why are we discussing his inflamitory statements?
Here, here. On what planet is this awesome bandwidth available and how can I get there? Doesn't this fool realize that game content/size will only grow in the future? Heck, a free 3 day ship of a blue ray game title from Amazon will be MUCH faster than that 10-25GB (that's Gigabyte) download. And this will not change any time soon. The Dope!

Of course it will - don't be stupid.
Cringley-esque speculation type headlines due tend to get published though.
