See I can't even post things like this without getting insulted, so I'm glad you brought it up! If Sony's future plan is to release Sony movies through Digital media first (and for free?) then they really don't have much faith in their Blu Ray technology. But then who could blame them, look at Blu Ray sales in Japan (ie PS3) they're absolutely horrible, not to mention that some of them actually just buy the PS3's for the games and not a standalone Blu Ray player.

You guys act like Blu-Ray and downloads are mutually exclusive, but they can exist together, and probably will for quite some time. Downloads will push Blu-Ray to the wayside eventually, but it's not likely to happen for 5+ years (at least, probably more like 10), and just because they're supporting downloads does not mean that they have no faith in the Blu-Ray format. They just don't want to be caught behind the times like they were with their tv division. They were one of the first companies on the HD bandwagon, but the stuck with their Trinitron TVs for far too long, and were late to the flat panel party as a result. They don't ever want to be late again.
