plus they are not exploiting things like streaming properly. with a dvd/bluray you get commentary, etc which is not usually available when you stream movies. until they create a "virtual dvd" that you can download with all the extras, physical media will never die off. digital is the next step but look how long vhs held on when dvds came out? it took a long time for them to die off so don't plan of stores like hmv and bestbuy going out of business because no one buys movies anymore (blockbuster is a different story altogether).
in terms of Casablanca, damn - another one i need to buy.
