Blu-ray is most certainly not on its way out. And with more and more cable companies instituting download caps, if anything streaming might drop as more people find it so easy to hit their caps with streaming. And I didn't just buy a 55" plasma so I can watch streaming. Different people have different goals in mind - for some, streaming is convenient. For many, blu-ray is the way to go for quality. Also, streaming doesn't offer alternate/deleted scenes/commentaries/making of documentaries, etc.

My apologies and I don't mean to keep the thread off track, but I hate when I hear comments like "streaming will kill blu-ray" or "blu-ray is dying". It's just not true.

I do think that once ESB:R is complete there will need to be some discussion about distribution, but that's still a ways away.
