A radio program I was listening to the other day was saying that the decision between Blu Ray and HD DVD is likely to be a moot decision anyway. They were saying that more and more people are going to be able to have HD movies on demand and people will be able to download the titles they want.

Certainly there is already movement in this area though it will likely be some time before it replaces the drive formats.


One HD movie takes up something like 20 GB. I wouldn't want to have to download that. Even at 1 MB/s, which is unrealistically fast for an internet connection, it would take about 5.5 hours to download one movie. Maybe they have faster ways of moving data using satellite dishes or somesuch.
