Full digital distribution may not be that far off. You can get a full 1080p movie(90mins) in WMV on a single layer DVD and at full tilt my broadband goes at about 750-800k, which equates to about 1h20m to download, meaning you could stream it in realtime.

Maybe for movies, but what do you do for games ?

Steam is a prime example of a working digital distribution system for games. If devs use game engines for cut scenes instead of FMV then the size of games comes down a lot. Steam is slightly different though, in that most games(poss all, IDK) use the same engine, so you dont have to keep downloading it.
