And how are you going to rent Betamax tapes? I mean I have this beta player right here and I cant rent tapes for it anymore...

I think Bluray is going to die as well. Not right away because that is a lot of data that our bandwidth can't deal with atm. I think more people will be willing to deal with a slightly lower quality from (netflix/vod/ppv) than are willing to drive to a video store to rent a movie.

You can always purchase the movie on Bluray if quality is that important to you.
