Probably true

Probably true. DVD's already provide pretty good quality for most users. A problem with downloads is you can't give them as gifts and you can't use them "wherever whenever", e.g., for kids in the car, on a camping trip, in a vacation cabin, a Winnebago, an airport lounge, Starbucks, etc. Also, hi-def really isn't that impressive on a small screen. Music CD's are still around and will be for years, despite MP3's.

Realistically, the Blu-Ray format itself will really take off when re-writable disks/drives hit about 200 GB capacity at a decent price, so they can be used for large-scale backup. Tape drives in that range are astronomical.
