Downloading teh films!!!111
You know? A few years ago, if you had said to me that the main way for delivering video media would be via the interweb I would have laughed at you and gone and purchased 10 more DVDs of crap films just to spite you. It seems though that I may well have to have a radical rethink. What has changed my views? Well, I’ve not actually bought that many films recently as I wait patiently for either Sony or Toshiba to come out on top in the race for my 1080i/p viewing. But during this time I’ve managed to see just as many films ( –> :suspect: <–). This online delivery (as I’ll call it) is actually not too bad. As hard drives get bigger and phatpipes get, well, phatter, this can only get better. I am already a big fan of the Steam platform for games delivery and many of the services provided by Sony and MS on their current gen consoles utilise similar routes to our living rooms.
Of course, I will still be buying loads of Blu-Rays (I mean, erm, BR or HD-DVDs :sigh: ) but my views on the future have changed.
Time will tell but what the heck am I going to do with the 600 DVDs in the lounge?!
