Not at the current internet speeds and broadband penetration it's not. Also, getting a majority of buyers who are from a generation essentially computer illiterate and have grown up with VHS,DVD and only know of their movie collections as a physical thing. It's going to be hard to switch their mindset. Which then takes it even a step further. Many people will be turned off by the hassle of potential Hard Drive failure. (Which let's face it, is very possible).
Digital Distribution is two generations away at a minimum (If ever). (When Broadband speeds and physical storage will match the requirements needed on a widespread basis and when a generation who has grown up with Napster/Limewire/Steam/Pirates Bay/ I-Tunes/Netflix/etc will hit the mainstream movie buying market ).
Every big scale retailer in the world and movie production company has every desire in the world to push Blu-Ray first and foremost. Not the other way around. It's very easy to see.
