Blu-ray is a format now. like DVD's once were. I think CAPCOM is thinking ahead by saying "Hey, Blu-Ray is the video format now. Let's release this content on Blu-Ray". It's not exclusive just because it's Blu-Ray.

"First of all, there are console specific bonuses that come with the standard editions of Resi 5. The PS3 version gets a behind-the-scenes making-of video (apparently created by %u201CHollywood staff,%u201D whatever that means), while an Xbox 360 %u2018Deluxe Edition%u2019 will ship with a metal case and a soundtrack CD. Once the %u2018Deluxe Edition%u2019 runs out, the Xbox 360 standard edition will contain only the game, while the PS3 standard edition has the making of video on the same disc as the game.". Really, PS3 gets the shaft because they don't get a metal box? hahahaha!! As for the dark knight thing...SONY is partners with WB man, it only makes sense they release content on all of the available formats. Blu-Ray discs are here to stay. I've asked many and I know A million people and their brother (Exaggeration) who would still rather have physical media over a collection of computer files.

Eventually Digital downloads will overtake any disk format, however, there will always be that small percentage of people without internet or are paranoid to make money transactions online (though there are PSN/Live cards whatever, so I may be contradicting myself), so there will always be a market for hard disk media (for lack of a better word that I know). And I believe that Blu Ray will become the medium by which all hard disk media is stored on. Not to mention PC games usually require a disk of sorts (Oblivion) for security/anti-piracy reasons, so I'm not sure if they will adapt as quickly. In summary there will always be a market outside of Digital Downloads that can't be ignored.

Digital downloads will become more popular but it will be a very long time before physical media is replaced. The portability is the number one factor. You can't borrow it to someone or go over by someone else and watch it. And you can't trade it in for credit when you get tired of it. Plus, unless they come up with a way for digital downloads to include all the bonus features (deleted scenes, bloopers, etc.), physical media will always be the prefered method for people that want to buy instead of rent.

I know a lot of HD DVD fans and Xbox 360 fans hope that Blu ray fails but downloading all your movies to a hard drive just doesn't seem all that reliable to me. I'm a PC tech and I know for a fact that hard drives die all the time, nothing hurts peoples feelings more than when I can't save their pics and music. I would never trust all of my movie collection to an HD. I want physical media and right now nothing is better than Blu ray.

We get larger hard drives and faster download speeds. A lot of blu-rays now come with 2 50GB discs. It takes me about 30 minutes to download a 1GB file on my 10 Mb service. Also I always like a hard copy of the movie with special features and higher bitrate with all the sound options.
