More and more people are ditching higher rez CDs for the convenience of being able to carry thousands of songs with them at any time. For me the same is true of SD video- its all just stored on my hard drive. I think with the every increasing size of hard drives and better encoders the same thing is likely to happen to BR. I think things like Netflix Online and iTunes are the future because they are cheap, HD, and far more convenient. |
What happens WHEN that hard drive fails? Then you have to either re-buy that DLC or re-download ALL OF IT. That would mean you would need to have a back-up of the back-up and hope THAT back-up doesn't fail.
OR, you could just have the optical media that's scratch resistant and call it a day (or rip it to plenty of hard drives).
