Packaged media total sales seem to be down most weeks... I wonder how much of this is down to Netflix. I mean, online services are certainly powerful... enough to bring down Blockbuster, at least.

Im sure some of it is.  Last year the decrease in Rental and Sales for package media was down $1m from the previous year and Digital Distribution increased $0.4m.  So I am sure that some of the decrease is because of places like Netflix.

Not to be "that guy", but the figures were in billions, not millions.

That table did highlight a few things to me, though... I didn't realize, for one, that DD was already higher than BD... of course, with the rates of growth, BD will exceed DD, maybe even this year... but, this is clearly a case of the hare and the tortoise.
