in my opinion this is the future..... optical discs are an obsolete low life expectancy support.... and no BR or HD dvd or anything will change that fact... those support are slow, small expensive to produce and very fragile compare to other support....
and DL content is also the future.... the I like the physical copie excuse... is just an habit... people will get use to DL like they are with DL of MP3 now... people will change with time... and with high speed connection high capacity HDD... it's very possible that DL will be the way of the future in not so long from now...
we'll have digital top boxes... doing cable internet, IP phone, probably wi fi router, DVR... and video game console.. that might even be integrated in TV sets.... looking at the cell processor and Sony I think they have that idea in mind or something like it...
