The problem with such high bit rates is streaming it requires you have a very good internet connection to appreciate the quality. So physical media won’t die it will just be more high end and more costly. There is too much money to be made from slapping a disc in a steel book and charging way over what it should cost for a art print and so on. This is a whole rip off industry in itself and is probably one of the few revenue streams studios can rely on. But blu-rays going for £200 and stuff on ebay just because they are in a tin?

We-should be re-opening the old Cornish tin mines for that sort of money for tin. Give them a nice Pasty and a few quid… Seriously though very rarely is their any special video content on those overpriced releases. There is very little that is special about these Steel books these days apart from a different cover.

But the IPTV roll out is the way it’s going agreed it’s cheaper and easier and more cost effective and saves space rather than have a huge stack of physical media (Yes guilty). Easier for families yes agreed. Good internet - Getting Expensive.

I’d also like to add my Bank gives me free cinema tickets… Cinema is being fueled even by those free ticket roll outs where bums on seats are being paid by promotion to keep it alive.

Look there will always be a case for a good bootleg and I am not slapping anyone for that, but Investors / shareholders probably just want to invest in the new more than the old. I was just trying to think of a way to re-package the old with something new.

I am waiting for an official release and that is that because I can wait.
