@Rpruett:
Isn't virtually all new music and movies available online as well as in stores? I'm pretty sure it's the case at least for music.
I think you might be correct about music. Although, I'm not too sure about movies. I don't believe you can get all new movies digitally. Something to consider with music though, is 'CD stores' all across the country (US at least) many of which are going out of business.
I don't agree 50 GB will be the standard size in the next generation. I think we'll see the PS4 being two PS3s duct-taped together, the Xbox 720 being two 360s duct-taped together and the Wii 2 will be four or five Wiis (i.e. 8-10 Gamecubes) duct-taped together. Where's the business feasibility of continuing to improve graphics and/or adding content for most games to be that big?
I'm sure some games will be larger, some will be smaller. But I expect all games next generation to be in HD and in general larger than this generations games.

Another thing that needs clarified, is when are you counting a new generation starting? I personally don't view a new gen as officially starting until all the players have entered the field. Some people view next gen starting as soon as the next new console is released though.

CD stores going out of business doesn't surprise me. Some horse breeders probably also went out of business when the car was invented ;)
The next-gen starts as soon as the first next-gen console exists... At that point any potential online distribution methods have to be in place.
