It's just not internet downloading though. I can order 1080p movies from my dish, TODAY and have it saved to my PVR to watch at any time.

There are other digital alternatives where internet bandwidth is not a factor. Many people, not everyone, will use these alternatives over physical media.

I wish people would stop saying that the world will go fully to digital downloads, it won't anytime soon. But it's equally silly to say that digital downloads won't become a bigger factor in the future.

lol... well to be honest untill then IMO the format will be to big to just die out. Bealive it or not the majority of this world is not yet ready to go fully DL and I dont think that it will become ready for it untill 2013 either. Huge markets like India/China/East Europe/Afrika will only start to buy into BRD players in 2010 and I dont think they will invest in a 3 year plan...

those markets are still into VCR's and you think their going Blue-Ray?

These countries pirate almost all of the content. The only way they will buy into blu-ray is if pirated material is freely available.
