Price and quality for dvd and streaming is prefectly suited for that.. And with streaming it adds the advantage of no need to have space to store them.. There is no need for them to have an infinite playable superior picture and sound version lying around in the living room when you watch it 1 time... It doesn't change the story of the movie |
This a million times. I remember having tons of VHS and DVDs as kid which I eventually just throw them out because there was no need for me to own them anymore...if I want to watch those movies I would just go to internet and problem solved, all those movies were a waste of space.
The market of people who wants to own a physical copy of a movie will become very small, to the point of just becoming a niche market. Same will most likely happen with games in the long run.
