It is good to see that that digital download future is not ten years away as some would have you believe. It seems like a good portion of the buying public has decided the future is now.
I agree. The future of digital video and audio content does not depend upon a rotating disc. The disc is a storage medium for data...period. The days of data on discs are numbered. Look at what has happened to music downloads. CD's are quickly becoming a niche market as a new generation of listeners either steal their music from Limewire or purchase it from Apple's Itunes store. The biggest competitor to Blu Ray isn't DVD, it is the present and forthcoming alternative methods of receiving high definition data. I would go on to say the future of gaming consoles (game disc data) and even operating systems will be internet based. The writing is on the wall.
