What's going to replace DVDs?

Question

Are they going to be using something like a SD card or a flash drive,storage device for movies in the future?

Answer 1

Short answer: nobody really knows.

Long answer: It may be that one day people will just download whatever they want and not bother with purchasing things in physical format. They punch in their credit card number, and buy the movie online, it downloads, and ta-da, you have your new film. Possibly. That's just one idea.

Snarky answer: I really hope NOTHING does. I don't want to have to go out and buy all my movies AGAIN. =)

Blue Ray

MP4's or another file format that you can download directly to your movie players hard drive.

You can download (buy) and play Blu-ray movies onto your PS3 via the playstation network.

Sony won and Blue Ray is the way of the future.  Your best bet would be to get a Sony Playstation 3.  Biggest bang for your buck, video games and it plays Blue Ray disks.

maybe just a laser light that can make a slight everywhere.

Answer 10

Plans are to go to digital distribution. Meaning downloads and streaming.

Digital, thats where we're heading now.

computers

Answer 15

Digital media, internet connections are becoming faster and soon all media will be instant access

Answer 16

right now nothing is set to replace Blue-ray

remember Blue-ray is a format a HD format

As far as the future of HD movies it looks like most are betting rather then disks movies will be downloaded...

I should add as an FYI the old cd disks are starting to be phased out... and just in the last few months I've seen music being sold on memory sticks

Answer 17

Eventually all media will be processed over a fiber optic network that links everything to a main database.  This way the need for any hardware and moving parts is eliminated.  This is a far way off  but is the way things will ultimately end up.  We will all be connected by a hyper fast internet and all media will stream from that.

Answer 18

The VHS is coming back strong...

Answer 19

They're just going to play DVDs on Mars.
