Try downloading a movie at 1080 P and realize why downloading is not the wave of the future.

3-5gb is the maximum you'd need to satisfy 98% of the market 100% of the time.
The new compression technology is amazing. The new Wireless technology is amazing as well.
Who will want Blu ray when storage/networking/playback technology is progressing so rapidly?
By the way, don't worry about the cable companies... they'll be the ones who'll sell you the movies so they'll make damn sure that the bandwidth is available so you can stream movies straight away. I think they're even rolling out 100mbit around the big cities.
Do you want to A - Drive to the store to buy that new dvd that you really want, or B download it onto your media server and have it available on all your computers/tvs at once for less than you would have paid for the DVD?
The luddites will stick with DVD and the early adopters will abandon blu ray. Think Ipod and you'll understand.

3-5GB Would be your average movie compressed in 720p, and as new technologies come out, and 1080p TVs become more popular, the market will want more.
I find it funny how you're all into "new technology" and you think it's all so "amazing" yet you want to stick with DVD. I doubt you've ever watched a movie in 1080p, or you'd see why so many of us dislike DVD and prefer Blu-ray.

I sit between 3-9 feet away from a 53" 1080p Sony bravia LCD tv. I see a difference, I just don't care for the difference enough to justify buying a $400 player and more expensive disks. The cost/benifit is simply not there, especially when I can't play those disks in my car or on my other Dvd player... I can't lend them to friends because they don't have blu ray etc. It just isn't worth it.
I have the TV, I have the player but I don't care for the disks or the content improvement.
