Sony's in a 'bag of hurt' because of Blu-ray

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.

Why? There is only 1 online service that provides exact blu-ray quality with all the extras, yet it's more expensive than physical disks and you're tied to their system. For example Gravity: $25.99 while the Blu-ray disk is $24.99 on Amazon or $18.99 if you shop around. (I wanted to take The wolf of wall street again as example, but they don't even have that available) Plus you don't need to spend $4000 on the Kaleidescope system to watch it.

Btw the download is 41.5GB, with my 80GB data cap I don't even have the spare bandwidth to download one movie. So tell me, how are physical disks not needed anymore?
