I know! I am collecting BDs up the yingyang because I just got a great new projector and it looks amazing compared to streaming.

Awesome!
I think it will continue to grow steadily. The market for good physical media isn't going to vanish, as online streaming is just .. not that great honestly. The quality is poor to terrible depending on many factors, and the price of streaming is set to explode with the death of net neutrality and increasing data caps.
People really don't know how good they've got it these days, we're set to de-evolve the internet over the next decade. Tiered data like Cell phone plans, and packet shaping/corporate-dictated throttling will destroy what we have taken for granted.
Also : more and more people are dropping old TVs, and it's just painful to watch a good movie on a good TV from a crappy stream.
I do subscribe to netflix, and for old TV shows, documentaries, etc, it's alright. But yeah, throw in the Gladiator re-master in 7.1, holy crap. The audio quality is staggering, perhaps even more so than the massive gap in picture quality.
Enjoy your HT! :)
