I believe the day of unlimited broadband is nearing if not already here. So depending on how much you spend on broadband, will seal the fate of disks or possible make a mini comback. AT&T CEO has said "DSL is obsolete" in 2011 and looks set to concentrate on the cashcow wireless portion of the business. Metered plans will be the factor for many people will consider. If you watch alot of movies, a metered plan will be sucked up pretty quick, and will you will be forced to choose. The new movies, to me are not cheap to rent or buy. Right now I can rent for about 4 bucks per viewing or I can buy for 20 bucks(blu-ray) get a free digital copy and watch as much as i want with no metering!That plus the US does not like change. Look how long it took us to convert to HDTV!(Although it was mostly the goverment). I remember reading about HDTV in the 80's, yet it is just now in the last 5 years become the normal for networks. Maybe I am wierd but I like to buy disks, including CDs. I feeel the quality of both is still better than downloading. I know you will say am crazy, but there it is!
