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.

Hate to burst ur bubble but i'll be willing to bet that technology exists. On CNN they were experimenting with live holograms during the elections. Financial transactions will no longer need cash within the next 5 years. Ever heard of the Veri Chip?...if chip goes mainstream credit cards will be obsolete.
Blu Ray is not the future. It's redundant. File sharing is the next gen. We've used DVD's and Blu Ray discs as a pathway to bring downloading into the mainstream.

Failing/lack of expanding broadband infrastructures, bandwidth caps (albeit some are already high enough), and broadband costs are a large force holding back digital distribution. I think a hard medium will almost always exist but blu-ray will be the last disc format. Flash memory is the future. Digital distribution will almost always be available and continue expansion but it will never 100% replace a solid medium.
|
Hard mediums will eventually phase out as more potent computers are created with built in memory. We're already doing it now when we create PC's from scratch.

please reread bolded words. Do you not understand these products are marketed to the entire world? Broadband is far from being sufficient enough to support mass Digital Distribution in the most civilized countries in the world alone. Arguing digital distribution will take 100% market share is just as absurd as Blu-ray completely phasing out the DVD.
