The Independent UK thinks the future of movies at home is going to go the way of cyberspace, not blue lasers. It sounds familiar. They must read my blog.

From The Independent:
Despite the claims being made for the new players, some industry watchers
believe the future of home movies and recorded TV shows lies not in physical
players and discs but in cyberspace.

In the next few years, the arrival of internet video will allow people to instantly
order and view films by broadband on their television sets; they won't need a
shelf of videos, DVDs or HD DVDs.

Adam Vaughan, online editor at Stuff, said the magazine viewed the battle
of the formats as "a red herring".

"It's being talked about as a format war but we think we will just skip to
internet video in the next few years," he said.

"It's a bit like SACD (Super Audio DC) and DVD-A (DVD Audio). We were
promised that they would be the future of how to listen to music because
they offered much better sound quality.

"But in fact everyone went for MP3, which is lower in sound quality, but
more versatile. I think ordering movies over the internet will be more
convenient."
