It seems that rumor has been going around for some time now. I doubt it will ever completely vanish. I do wonder why in todays technological in media storage why we haven't seen a Thumb Drive or SD type card for media. Way back in the early 80's when CD first started to gain traction I waited to jump on board because I had read in Popular Mechanics that the cassette was about to be replaced with a cartridge similar to todays SD card only larger, the sample they showed was about 50% the size of a deck of cards. So I waited, and waited and finally bought a CD player and bunch of CDs and more recenly just keep upgrading my analog system. The old is forever new...so they say.
Is the CD and DVD/Bluray going away?
I've been hearing grumbling that the shinny plastic disks will be shortly disappearing from the market in favor of HD downloading for music and video.
I guess my hopes on a new Oppo 3D Bluray may need to be reconsidered. I wonder if the web apps will include 3D movies which can be utilized in our Home Theater
Some say the new HD down loads might be more "realistic" than vinyl. Not sure I can agree with that.
Please comment as it seems the by forcing everything to downloads, it puts the marketing advantage to the big Moguls who will jack up the costs to the music/video consumers.
