I watch both Blu-ray and downloaded movies(internet based). At this point, the Blu-ray experience far exceeds the download experience. It takes too long for the downloaded movie to start to play and the compression kills the audio and the video. The quality is currently well below my standards.
Your cd/mp3 argument is flawed. iTunes allows you to buy individual songs rather than buying the whole album. If the service was album based rather than being song based, it would be far less successful.
You are comparing a purchase model to a rental model. The future of digital distribution is as a rental model. Meaning you will have 24 hours to watch the movie before it is deleted.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
