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.

 

Chips have  been used for anything from debit cards, phone cards to electronic wallets for ages in Europe ( I had a debit card with a chip when I was in college 17 years ago..) so that' kinda a really good counter example against your argument...

This just goes out to point that if some technology is present in an area it doesn't mean it is there in whole wide world and ready to become the next standard ( I'm talking to the people advocating digital downloads as the future of Blu-Ray).

And you'll never get the german to replace their cash with chips anyway.. They just won't do it...
