its not worth it, and your basing downloading on tec you see now...this war wont be over in the next year...it proably wont be over for at least another 2, mabye three....and by that time you will see tera byte drives on th shelves for cheap and it will be the standard for the off the rack pcs---so once again let me make it a point, things will be downloaded not bought in stores


and the comment about the bulk of music being bought in cds...yeah.....i would like to see some numbers to back that claim up

no offense but you seem to disregard all the difficulties digital download is having

just to point a few

#1 bandwith problem ( this huge!)

#2 sound and picture quailties also related to bandwith problem.

#3 Consumer need to buy need equipments to send signal to their T.V

#4 Hard Drive can actually die without notice and say bye bye to your movies.

there are more problems for digital download to become mainstream, these just a few of the most difficulities I think they are having.

bottom line is we are still light years away from having digital download dominate the market.

 


1--i have phios so i dont know what bandwith trouble is...but yeah i guess some people might have that trouble, but most people that are striving to have the cutting edge tec dont use dial up so...not to mention every day more cable is laid

2--look at the post above--you remove the band with problem and blammm--not to mention t would just take longer to download a movie

 3--not really, most video cards now have hardware to send signel over to tv---and all you would ned is a video card that can do HD graphics...so i dont see you point here

 4--this one i will admit could be a problem, but it will always be a problem for any type of digital media...that didnt stop music now did it?

 Bottom Line---in the field of tec there is no such thing--every day things change in ways we never saw--i mean look at the last 3 years and tell me there hasnt been major advances that have completly changed the industtry--i mean look at mp3's no one saw that comming but a few people
