Yeah streaming won't replace physical media any time soon. I would say it will be another 10 years at least before streaming even comes close to saturating the market. Right now it is a small small market of sales.
AS for people saying Blu Rays will have to get a lot cheaper, what do you want, them to give them away? Many Blu Rays can be found for $5. Can't get any cheaper then that. And most new releases are the same price as the DVD version. Players can be found for $50 which again isn't much. |

I'm in the camp that believes streaming/downloading/VOD will become the dominant form of accessing movie media in less than 10 years. New releases (as in, movies playing in theaters now) will still be available on BD/DVD for quite some time, but the catalog market is most likely headed for specialty labels, limited editions, MOD services, and shit like that. Movie collecting in general will probably go the way of comic books, coins, records/LPs, etc--more of a niche market/hobby.

...comic books, gold coins and vinyl have exploded in popularity recently...

I just wouldn't even care about ever "buying" a download. My interest in collecting would then just stop. I don't do it for music unless it's the only way to get it, etc.. Why buy a download movie if I can just rent it whenever I got the urge to see it? And "bought" extras wouldn't tempt me there either.
