A lot of people keep saying that this format war is irrelevant because downloadable content will reign. I'm just not so sure, there are some things that people like to own, I mean physically, see it on your shelf, own. I, for one, am that way. I remember 15 or more years ago when people told me that paper would be a thing of the past by the year 2000, well here it is 2007 and I know my office kills more trees than a wooded backroad full of drunks. I also remember hearing that CD's would be obsolete too because of downloading music, while it has taken a blow, CD's are still going strong despite the downloadable music rage. IMHO downloadable HD movies will never be supreme for several reasons, first a lot of people like to actually own what they buy, not just the rights to use it. Second, DRM, nuff said. I could come up with more but I'm tired.
