Ten Reasons Why DISC won't die

[GeorgeCaplan]

With all due respect to OP, the title should have been something like - 10 reasons why HD downloads won't be adopted by the masses
But otherwise I tend to agree with you

However I could see an alternative to HD Discs.
Some variation on flash cards
Today you can get 8GB, which could easily carry the same content as a double sided DVD
2~3 years should be >64GB

Obviously price point would have to drop too, which would take a little longer. Also the cards would be mostly read only which would bring the price down.

But advantages would be
-Much more damage resistant than a disc
-Players would have no moving parts - quiet operation, smaller, less power hungry
-Smaller, easy to store in the house
-Possible to have personalised content.

OK it might not happen, but it could do
I would be very tempted.
