anyone who thinks download or streaming will be main stream anytime soon, needs to see a shrink.

 

That is the future as soon as transactions are made completely digital (Which it will be in the future).

 

It will be the future but not anytime soon to be mainstream.

Most of the people do not have fast enough connection.

Many ISPs out there have bandwidth cap.

Stream media will not reach BD quality any time soon.

People still prefer physically own the media as of now.

 

HD streaming with full transport control is available via cable with no concerns about bandwidth, and the infrastructure for this was around years before HD content was introduced. You don't even NEED an internet connection for this stuff.

 

Yup I mentioned this earlier OD doesn't require internet connections and it is growing every year and providing HD content.

Through in the On Demand on DirectTV although that requires internet it is still very effective. Then you have Netflix HD and Itunes looking into providing HD content and goes knows who will provide more services. BR is still in its infancy with over half of its sales depending on a gaming machine now that HD-DVD is out of the way it also has to compete with these.
