Good by VHS.......should have been killed off sooner.

DVD is already obsolete...........Blu-ray's lifespan will be shorter than even DVD's.

Movies and video's will follow (and it's already started) the music industry. Buying movies and videos from a digital source over the internet will be as normal as buying music off of iTunes now. In fact, I've already purchased a few movies from iTunes and couldn't be happier. No discs, no getting up to load them, no scratches. All I do is fire up my Apple TV and play my movies. Extremely convenient & instant......and in most cases.......cheaper.

Soon, everything that is music and movies will be purchased through a little box, in your living room, connected to the internet. (like Apple TV). You will purchase, rent and watch from that single device. I give this technology 2 years until this idea becomes common knowledge, and 5 years to take over DVD & Blu-ray sales.

VHS, how I hated renting movies that were not already rewinded....
Thats why I always rewind my DVD's before sending them back to Netflix

Thats what I'm thinking. But also with flash drives becoming even larger and larger every year its only a matter of time before we end up with 10 TB and 100 TB drives.. but then again Blu-ray does have a capacity of what.. 50gb? When you want HD like that, and it becomes the norm I can see problems with streaming video instead of keeping copies of the data at your home. I really think digital sales are going to be the next logical step, but it won happen until data storage capacity greatly exceeds what the optical media can hold. RIght now we're at the 1TB area so.. using digital copies you could store 20 hd movies (blu-ray) or 100 dual-layer dvd quality movies. depending on if you used the original video format, but that's what you'd want if you wanted to retain the same quality.
