onDemand, PPV, VOD....all been around for years. and? it didnt even dent the DvD market; why? becuase not every have cable! becuase you can only watch it once. becuase you dont have the option to buy it. becuase you cant make it portable. becuae you dont own it.
i love how you say infrastructure. you act like you know anything about it. how is the blu ray infrastructure there? what constitute infrastructure readiness? 90% of people having blu ray player? tell me. was the infrastucture for mp3 download there when 56k modem was around?
i am pointing out the fact that many analyst and market research are showing digital download is viable. it amazes me how the industry is gearing for that, but you choose to ignore.
hey ultimately your a Sony Fanboy. no matter what happens you want to believe things will stay the same. look at the Sony walkman......

lol, so you think those people who don't have cable are going to go out, buy a set top download box, get high speed internet, and start downloading their movies...before they get cable?
lmfao.
Right.
Those people are more likely to upgrade to basic or expanded cable, both of which include On Demand video services. Most on demand videos are FREE. FREE. You can watch them whenever you want. On Demand 'pay to view' videos can be watched multiple times within a 24 hour period, you can pause, go to another channel, and then go back and start where you left off. You can watch recent episodes of TV shows, with no commercials. All of this is included in your cable subscription costs.
You must not have cable?
Many JOURNALISTS are showing digital downloads are 'viable' and often cite the same group of people, none of which work for Comcast, Cox, Dish Networks, or AOL Time Warner.
Apple STARTED their Movie initiative, and it has YET to show any significant growth. WIth high prices ($15 a movie) users are more likely to just go out to BUY the movie on DVD.
I probably won't be around posting on forums anymore once DD ultimately fails, but I'm sure I'll remember laughing at you.
