Ok, this is just my little rant against all of the articles I read about how physical media is going to die and all will be downloaded in the future. I do not believe that will ever happen for these reasons.
1. It takes forever for an hd movie to download from the internet even on a fast
connection.
2. The supposed HD isn't HD. There isn't a lossless audio track and it isn't even
1080p format. Itunes is nowhere near and the zune service is getting close,
but this would make loading times even longer.
3. I cannot make a backup copy of my movies on a disk. If my computer dies I
have lost my purchase.
4. The need for HUGE capacity drives for movies. If and when movies are output
at 1080p and lossless audio just a few movies will top 100 gig. Individuals
that have 50 or more movies ouch!!!
Why I like to have Physical media disks
1. As easy as put it in the blu ray player and instant gratification and the best
quality.
2. I can back up my disks incase something should happen to them.
3. To move to another room I just take the disk out and put it in another blu ray player.
I would like to hear other comments about this subject. Post your thoughts!!!
