Fanboy's need to ease up their pain somehow. Downloadable content isn't a threat at all for physical medium simply because people like to collect stuff. You can easily buy music online right now for half price and CD albums still sell great. Shit, you don't have to pay at all for music (and keep in mind files are much, much smaller than HD movies). If CD business goes on even though "free" stuff is so easy to find and pick up I can say one thing - BS. |
The CD business is in big trouble. Sales are down significantly. The ipod has gotten people used to the idea of not needing the physical media. It will only go downhill for CDs from here.
It will take quite a bit longer for movies though. It will probably be at least 5 years before we see anything similar. Disk space will get cheaper and compression schemes will get better. I definitely look forward to the day of just using my remote to select any movie in my collection without having to find the physical disk.
