Digital downloads won't begin to take a hold of the market until download speeds break the 15 MBps barrier, allowing a 1080p HD film to be downloaded in mere hours, and HDDs reach the multiple TB level (4+) so that dozens (if not hundreds) of movies can be stored on a single device.

Of course, taht still won't be sufficient for people like me who simply prefer having a physical copy of the film? I still buy CDs, and I'll continue to buy movies for many years. I prefer a hard copy of a cd/movie because I like the case and booklet, because I can bring it wherever I want and use it on whatever player I want, and because it's always there if I needed. What if my HDD goes? There goes all my movies.

And what about all the non-tech saavy people? many of them still use dial-up, and would probably have a hard time keeping track of downloaded movies.
