"More obvious fud from another blu-ray fanboy. Why does any technology that would compete with your beloved god sony/phillips BD always get attacked by you guys?? Digital downloads are coming, 4k is coming, flash distributuon is coming, Blu-Ray has at most 5 years and it will ride off into the sunset with HD-DVD."
I've explained the technical and economic issues with the kind of distribution you (and some others) would propose will occur. There is no company out there with the kind of monopolization that Apple has in the music space or the kind of killer product to really launch digital distribution of movies.
Odd as it may seem people like watching movies on big screens which is the reason iTunes is still does most of its sales in music and why Amazon Unbox hasn't exactly been a phenomenon.
Look at the electronic books business, many of those problems it faces are in all likelihood the exact same kind of problems that video distribution will face.
If you can't make a reasonable argument against my assertions on this, don't even bother to reply. It was my prediction from the beginning that Blu-Ray would win and that is coming true very quickly now, so don't presume that you have a greater knowledge of how things are going to fall than I do.
In closing, you either have no idea what you are talking about or are to lazy to elaborate a reasonable argument. I'm favoring the first one given your mention of 4K which will only make the possibility of widespread digital distribution of videos even more remote.
