Blu-Ray is the standard for HD movies. It should be cheap by the time the next consoles launch. It will most likely be standard in all next-gen consoles. If MS wants their console to the the multimedia center for the living room, it must have blu-ray.
You will see a lot more content sold online for download next gen. I see no reason why you could not buy a 20GB game online and install it on the 500GB+ hard drive in your console. Games will be getting bigger. 100GB+? If you want to own a physical media, it will be blu-ray.
