If anything, people today purchase and download games.
Like I said, I already did that in the early 90s. Mostly PD and shareware stuff though. Similary today I buy smaller online distributed games today, like Super Stardust and Calling All Cars, but I greatly prefer my bigger high profile games like Oblivion. Heavenly Sword, Resistance Fall of Man, etc to come supplied on scratch resistant Blu-Ray discs. Not much has changed for me from the grand perspective.
Likewise I don't mind slightly lower quality music video or TV series downloads. But the high profile movies like Lord of the Rings, Casino Royale, MonsterHouse, etc I all prefer to have stored in top quality on physical media.
I have the fastest consumer internet connection available here, so I would be an obvious target, but like I said I'm not. I will probably buy music videos from the PSN store though, they are mostly less than 1/30 the size of a movie, they wouldn't even need to be full Blu-Ray quality for me as it's not really new content like a movie you watch for the first time (especially movies that are meant to impress visually, or scary movies when realistic surround sound can play an important factor).
