USB drive vs Blu-Ray
Dartful Dodger:
We have a project that was going to be an multiple DVDs. We looked into putting them on Blu-Ray disks but Sony charges an arm and a leg to use Blu-Ray technology so we decided to stick with DVDs. Until the client decided they would upgrade all their sales people with Dell Minis. Since the Minis don't have an internal disk drives we decided to put these multiple DVDs on a Flash Drive.
I told my sister this and she said that her son, who is in 4th Grade, got a Flash Drive for school, and that all the students were issued one with a lanyard for them to wear around their necks.
This got me thinking that they could also put movies on USB drives and if a USB drive can hold more than a Blu-Ray and is a cheaper technology, Blu-Ray is dead.

I will always prefer a physical copy of a movie. I will not accept streaming or digital copy only.

For a very long time I have thought music would become available on a format that required no moving parts to play. I would think: "If my atari 2600 had cartridges with no moving parts why can't my audio player." Of course it's been totally possible for a while now but no-one has done it. CD's were great but really they are kind of large and the first CD player I had for my car liked to skip. :angry:

LOL people have been saying that for 4 or 5 years. :P
It will never happen IMO. Bandwidth is becoming less plentiful, not the other way around, ISPs are starting to define caps, etc.
