That article is ridiculous. With bandwidth caps getting more and more popular with many ISPs, I have to laugh every time I hear somebody say that discs are going to be replaced with "digital delivery". And what about extras? Am I  the only one that enjoys extras any more like commentaries and deleted scenes? I'm pretty sure I'm not. And what happens when the server pulls a particular movie off its list for whatever reason? Then I guess you can never see that movie again I guess. No thanks - I'll keep my discs thank you very much.

And don't forget about quality. I have a 51" plasma and even my cable signal looks like crap because of awful compression artifacts. They hook us on HD and then want us to settle for highly-compressed downloads through sites like Netflix? Blu-ray wins in this department hands-down, plus they are very resistant to scratches so they will be in your collection for a long long time.

Actually most of their predictions in that article seems ridiculous to me.

And I agree, I absolutely hate the term "cloud". It annoys me as much as the term "green" does.
