Agreed. The writing is on the wall.
I just hooked up netflix streaming through my apple tv. Limited sure but I watch way more because it is easy. For ex, I have a bunch of seasons of Star Trek (different ones) on dvd. I watched them when I got them for my birthday like 5 years ago. havent watched them since. But with Netflix I have watched a bunch of episodes recently, and many that I didnt own.
Disks are dumb.
My answer is streaming. And did you note the op said "MASS"?? There will always be some niche markets out there but physical media is decaying and will be all but dead in our lifetime.

- The biggest question I have - what in the world do people stream, that is worthy of watching? - carcass93 08:07:07 08/22/12 (7)
- good point, but you could easily argue that 99.99% of all movies and TV is for morons - bwb 09:46:40 08/22/12 (1)
- My point exactly. To me, content is a huge issue - not the means of delivery. N/T - carcass93 09:58:23 08/22/12 (0)
