Warner has gone Blu-Ray Exclusive, HD-DVD owners enjoy anal sex. More at 11.

Meh, I just think it sucks that there was a format war in general. I'm glad I didn't pony up for any of it yet, mostly because I knew one of the formats would flounder, and also because I don't have an HDTV yet. The whole thing is useless in my eyes. DVDs are fine for me, plus, considering the enormous collection I've amassed, I'm not looking to stop collecting them anytime soon.

My prediction - DVD will still be popular in 5 years, and by then, digital distribution will become a major contender in home entertainment.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I love my collection of DVDs and vastly prefer physical copies over digital ones. However, if the future consists of companies making things harder for the consumer, I don't see why digital distribution wouldn't atleast gain foothold. Right now its in its infancy, but when we're all given access to higher bandwidth and more storage, it will come down to clicking a link, and having an HD-quality movie on your desktop in minutes. Couple that with the increasing number of ways to stream said videos to your TV, and you have a pretty easy, cost-effective alternative.

Some people (not folks like you and I) just like to have the movie and don't care about the special features or any of that stuff. If I were to estimate, I'd say those people are, if anything, more numerous than the people who like tons of special features. They will be the ones to hop on the digital distribution bandwagon over guys like us, and I'll wager to bet that within 10 years, playing movies on physical copies will be like playing music on records - Better quality, 1337, but not as practical.
