anyhoo... when do you experts project netflix on demand to overtake bluray?

I have exactly zero blu-ray discs in my house, so you bet your ass that's what they're offering, by comparison. - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:03 11
- You're focusing too much on Bluray, it's the impossibility that downloads can take a majority this generation that makes this argument a dream -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:07 10
  - but then PS3 has already lost this generation. - Reagen Mar 1, 14:12 7
    - I think the misunderstanding here is that I agree Bluray doesn't help the 360 at this point - Stewie Mar 1, 14:24 6
      - You're always hung-up on this "physical format" idea. Well, DVD sales overall (which include BluRay) are sliding. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 15:42
      - I rent far less because of roku. I mean, I have the one movie at a time plan because I roku so much. so netflix is sort of - the ides of march love mandy lane Mar 1, 14:50 2
        
        For me Neflix DVDs are for new releases, watch now through Xbox is for older stuff and TV shows. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 1, 15:43 1
        
        If they would start having everything available as a download on the release date, *I'd* buy a 360 tomorrow. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 15:46
      - I haven't sampled Netflix On Demand, because of the region-specificity, but I have sampled XBox Live Video Rentals ... that, at least, is a huge - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:32 1
        
        i agree there, blockbuster is toast for many reasons -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:43
  - What do you see as the post-bluray content ownership platform? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:09 1
    - i'd bet on another physical format right now - Stewie Mar 1, 14:18
as defined by...? -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:02 4
- market share, a movie is released and more people download it than buy it -- nm - Stewie Mar 1, 14:04 3
  - Netflix isn't offering that... yet. But you're nuts to not see the potential. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:05 2
    - i see the potential, and the gigantic roadblocks in its way - Stewie Mar 1, 14:11 1
      - and you don't think the Netflix deal will carry on to whatever console MSFT makes next? -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:13
