Usually, I have adopted new formats quickly and converted my libraries of media quickly... Tape to CD, VHS to DVD, CD to MP3, News on TV to Internet news sites, Magazines to Internet Magazines, etc... A funny thing is happening right now though, it seems to me that the market for HD movies is frozen.
I think the issue is in price. I bought HD DVD movies before because they were a small premium on the price of regular DVD movies, and because I have the equipment to make them look great I was willing to pay the price. But, once HD DVD lost I went to start buying blu-ray disks and noticed they were considerably more expensive then HD DVD. I have bought a bunch, but not at the rate I was buying before that. And then, I tried a few downloads, and now I don't care too much whether I will buy a another HD movie as it will save storage space in my home and if I want to watch a movie it is only 15-25 minutes away from digital download.
I really think the time for physical media formats is going and the world that has access to high speed internet is going to move to digital distribution of all media. I really don't see too much advantage to buying movies now. Guess we'll just have to wait for the outcome but my vote is Internet based media.
