People are free to live in denial, but the truth is that everywhere you look digital downloading services are starting up or growing.  Hell Sony even sees it with it's failed UMD format but will never admit it with Blu-Ray because they gambled away so much on it.  I guess we can revisit this in a year or two but I'm willing to bet when we do the future of the format will be much more obvious, even to those that refuse to see it.

Only when broadband penetration,speed as well as hardware reliability and finally consumer mindset changes will digital distribution take the spotlight.  Not until.  Blu-Ray is rapidly expanding and everyone in the movie industry (From Producers, Studios, Retailers, etc have a stake in seeing that market continue to expand.).  This is why it will continue onwards. 

I'm sorry but when it takes me 2 hours to download a movie,  I have almost no interest in waiting for that.  I would rather drive 10 minutes to Blockbuster or a Red Box and watch a movie.

A think is very reasonable that digital download will be another viable option to the consumer when it fit that particular need.  But that doesn't mean that Blu-ray cannot be another viable option as well which so far it is.  People are free to live in denial, but Blu-ray is the only consumer choice that allows for full 1080p and HD audio even to those who refuse to believe it.  And are downloads and/or streaming such a threat to Blu-ray?  In fact, some standalone Blu-ray players are designed with Netflix streaming options such as the newer Samsung and Panasonic players.
