they dont come in seperate 5 mins tracks. you dont get albums of 5 min videos.



maybe in far end future, instant on demand and seeminless solution perhaps via streamed/box office pay per view.



but buying movies? i still dont see the obsession of owning non tangible stuff

a movie download comes with subs then I will buy digital movies... but if not... no thanks... at least for me.... anyway it's like games... people will buy downloaded games but almost everybody prefer tangible copies for trade in, book and else.... the same with movies.... better tangible copies of the movie to view it with friends.. not just in your house, to see special features... different language, subs, the now bluray features, for trade in... the ability to rip it if you want it on the go... anyway... there are so many factors that people still want tangible movies that just download it and have it in one console if is in the 360 or in the computer with drm thing...



Anyway it's what I think...

To all those ppl who keep saying the speeds aren't there yet.Know this Comcast is launching is launching a faster speed next year which is over 160mpbs,and version is lauching something even faster than that.Verizon already have speeds up to 50mbps now.I have Comcast and I have over 28mbps running right now and it only takes me 1-2hrs to download HD movies.I've been downloading HD movies for months now on only a 28mbps.Imagine when Comcast and Verizon launch their faster services next year it'll only take me 10 minutes and with terabyte hard drives getting cheaper;their already reasonable btw.It's only a matter of time.Within two years downloading HD movies will be mainstream whether you guys like it or not.

I pay only $99 dollars a month and that's including cable,phone and internet.Again, downloading HD movies are already popular it just isn't mainstream yet.Also, from what I heard Comcast/versizon said they'll launch them at reasonable prices too.Also, verizon already have 50mpbs that

only takes about a hour or less downloading a HD movie and that only costs 80 something dollars a month and that price is falling.How is my point moot again? with Comcast launching 160mbps this year at a reasonable price,and even if people couldn't afford that reasonable price they could simply get a slightly slower speed.Because I hope you do know it only takes 4 minutes to download a HD movie over 160mbps.Also, as I said I download HD movies RIGHT NOW,it cost me $99(including cable & phone) with only a 1-2hr download.Anyway it's time to accept it HD movie downloads are ALREADY happening.Within two years it should be mainstream.It won't kill off BR they'll just co-exist.Too bad BR will never be as popular as DVD.

"you type... like... william shatner speaks..."



HAHAHA!!!! Now THAT was hilarious!



I have to admit.....I do the same. I think it comes from having so many arguments over what was said. How many times have you gotten into an argument will a friggen women over what you actually said versus what she remembers? When you speak you use commas in your vocal communication. They're called PAUSES. When you type you use PAUSES for a reason. Yet people run all your spoken words together and run all your typed words together SO OFTEN that people are starting to use LONG COMMAS.



Comma ,

Long comma ......



Two of the same sentences with a comma in different spots can have TWO DIFFERENT meanings.



Same reason I capitalize certain words. People skip things WAY too often.

It may be 'popular', but it ain't going mainstream any time soon.
