xD Selnor, All digital downloads as far as movies are concerned might be 10 years away, and by that point the BDA will have paid it'self off and then some. The next generation of consoles might ALL use blu-ray, well maybe all, I have a feeling Nintendo will stick with DVD (they seem to be a generation behind as far as physical format is concerned). Imagine that, all computer drives will end up being blu-ray drives, your next xbox will have a bluray drive, hell everything as far as optical media is concerned will be Blu-ray. Digital downloads will be picking up, but acceptability just isn't there for everyone. ESP not for high definition downloads. Do we even know the percentile of the world that has over a 5mbs internet connection?

Theres rumours of Toshiba and MS making a large capacity Flash or SD similar device for use with films ( and possibly games in next gen). Something I would be massively for as load times suck with disc. Cant wait to get rid of disc. It's an extremely old format now even with more storage.
