This guy's analysis is pretty much irrelevant as none of Sony's competitors are adequately set up to distribute everything digitally. Sony is the only one who has done that in earnest as of yet, so I don't see how giving a consumer options is shooting Blu-Ray in the foot.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

 Xbox live already has movie downloads.



 

 

 

 

Yeah, how could anybody not think that within the next couple of years the entire world downloads their entertainment instead of just buying it in a store and having a physical media around, eh?

I say it one more time: downloading media will never replace physical media. It's just not practical at all for most consumers.
