Yeah, there's all this all this hooting and cheering for physical media to go away until people finally realize that they can no longer access content that they paid money for because it's no longer available digitally.

Physical media for movies and music doesn't need to exist anymore. I rather have them as digital files.

Games are another story, but emulation can solve that problem.

I concur. Physical media doesn't need to exist anymore, at-least in 1st world countries with decent broadband infrustructure.

However, here in Australia we don't really have any decent digital services to take advantage of, nothing to the extent of Netflix or Hulu that's for sure, so the only option that people *really* have is to pirate or spend $30-$40 on a Blu-ray release or stick with DVD which is usually $20-$30 a movie, which is hardly convenient.

I love my music library being digital and online, I love my video games being digital and online (via Steam) I wan't the same thing with movies and TV shows, cheaper pricing wouldn't go astray either.
