Yes...there has been some chatter, but thats all it is..There is too much on the plate at the moment that involves the whole picture of those lil shiny discs from manufacturing, retail sales and rentals etc. Not all have the capability to stream with ease yet. I live in a rural area that still does not have any form of great internet abilities. I did buy the new Oppo BDP 105 for its musical abilities and also for the DVD/Blu Ray...My library provides many hours of enjoyment...
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.
