Bluray probably is not going anywhere in the near future with stores to push them and large market who absolutely will not buy digital movies. 

Who said anything about buying? Its cheaper and easier to just stream it. 

How so? I can rent any new movie physically for like, $1.20 at a Redbox. No subscription needed. I can also spend $15 dollars on a copy of a classic movie ONCE, and never have to pay for it again for the rest of my life. 

Physical is cheaper. The illusion that steaming is cheaper is just that, an illusion. For one years worth of Netflix and Hulu Plus, it will cost you 192 dollars. Do you honestly think I'd spend 192 dollars on Red Box rentals? haha
