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.

Hi Theo,Shakedown, Tpreaves
Thumb drives would be a lot quicker and hopefully offer better performance over disks. We just acquired an Emotiva UMC-200 pre/proc. I was told by an industry insider CD/DVD/Blurays will disapear in the near future in favor of down loads. To me Vinyl is King. I hope you are all correct.
Happy listening/watching
