With wifi you don't get the same bandwidth you do over copper, and don't expect to anytime soon.

Greekgg - Home media distribution centers are a luxery item, will continue to be for some time, and are not likely be in a noteable percentage of homes within 5 years - the time required to pose a threat to physical media in the near term.

No matter when or wher physical media might end up at some undetermined future date, it will not be soon enough to make Blu Ray irrelevant no matter what Microsoft (or anybody) wants or is capable of.

Best case scenario, it will be a one for one replacement of current SD quality DVD's, and that does not take infrastructure improvement cost, development, or distribution capabilities into account.
