i dont want to speak to you personally.....but it seems all of the folks NOW switching their tune to downloadable movies were firmly entrenched in HD-DVD's camp and simply just go with the flow to whatever is competeing with Blu-ray regardless of the odds of success or plausibility......not talking about you but speaking on the subject.
Its time for people to just face it. digital distribution will NEVER happen. Sure it would be nice to get HD quality downloads into a nice 100 terabyte box under my TV, but thinking of whats required, the hard drive space, the bandwidth, the large market of folks who arent tech savvy etc.....but it will NEVER replace brick and mortor sales or disc sales. The studios just wont allow it, theres too much money to be mad. Downloads will 100% no doubt supplement disc sales, as we see my digitcal copy and DisneyFile. Studios are embracing, realistically, the effect and potential of downloadable media....but people that know their shit arent stupid enough to believe downloadable media will EVER in our lifetime trump disc sales. |
I think you are wrong...because you are talking movies. Gaming world is different... I'm already downlaoding 2 gig demos for my ps3 and waiting another 15 mins for them to install. Why couldn't I download 8 gig games in 2-3 years? Most PC games that are pushing over 20 gigs can be zipped down to a dvd9 if they come in an install file... So if they made a mandatory hard drive in next gen console systems (larger the better), with madatory game installs, you really don't need bluray media for gaming. If youre talking movies...maybe you are right...
