According to this NY Times article.

But do we need discs at all? With Comcast promising high-definition downloads in 4 minutes and prices of flash memory falling like a rock, maybe we will jump right to a world where video simply lives as a file on a hard drive or flash disk

Good point from the article, although contradictive. I don't think the author realizes that a blu-ray disk is nothing more than an added form of storage media. The movie files still need to be saved somewhere. From a consumer standpoint, I want to have ownership of the media files I purchase and have them stored on storage media that I own. For that reason, even if downloads became the norm, I'd still be burning them to disk...a blu-ray disk!
