sure a % of the marketplace will adopt hi-def streaming, but that same group probably already owns a bluray player, and would adopt hi-def streaming anyway.
There is not enough of a market for hi-def streaming to allow it to knock out whatever physical media is around.
will bluray survive, probably, it might even last 10 years or so, or it might get replaced in 5 years by hidef on memory cards, but the physical media will not die anytime soon.
oh sure, pundits will write countless pieces about how phyiscal media is dying, and sure, it will die a slow and agonizing death, maybe taking 50 years, but it will just not drop dead tommorrow.
personally, i think bluray will last 10 years. I think that as the cost of the movies goes down at the store, as the players become more affordable, and the $ of households with hi-def tv's goes up (and add in smart moves like disney including a regular dvd version in the same package as the bluray) that in another year or three, bluray will have close to a majority of the market.
the fact that st has to keep having this argument is amazing.
