@ChronoTrigger:"In a few years time the world will be moving on to High Def, do you think our internet will support 50gig movie downloads in minutes by that time?"
Streaming? I think most of our internet will support 50 gig movie downloads in 1-2 hours by that time.
Also, I think it will be more like on Microsoft's Marketplace. Movies and tv shows in both SD and HD with various sizes and fees. You'll have a lot of choices. |
The thing about that though, is Avi was stating that the world isn't comming around to an HD format nearly as quickly as some would like, and in terms of downloading movies? Hell there's more people in america that can operate a DVD player but simply can't figure out how to download... anything o.o; I think digital downloads will have a much more complicated curve to it, the reason high def disk sales are still low is because the ammount of high def TV's is also quite low, and high def players are still quite expensive :P (looking at you blu-ray). Now I believe download's has a semi-edge to it at the moment with the fact that you can download SD movies, but with all these bundles with blu-ray and HD-DVD movies comming with players. It's only a matter of time before HD takes off. And I think that time will be long before we have the internet to support HD downloads. |
I agree that it's a problem. I don't see someone like my mom downloading movies...yet. But if they make a simple interface, I'm sure it won't be a problem. Now she's using a TVR with a HDD, I don't see why downloads have to be so much harder. This generation's "marketplaces" are just the first steps. |
LOL true, true, were definately moving forward in technology, its just physical media is already in stores, is already generating buzz. I still think it has a much higher chace of immediate takeoff than Downloaded movies.
