Holy crap I say these kinds of things everyday.This is a symptom of the "cloud" revolution that's taking place right in front of us.
I noticed the brick & mortar shops are all down on inventory, whether music or videos.
Wal-Mart's shelves don't stock nearly as many DVD's as they used to...reason Netflix and other streaming companies.
CD's, same story i-tunes drives the market so the CD will be extinct soon. Maybe Classical and Jazz labels will still offer them but mainstream rock/pop etc. are going to digital downloads.
I am going to stop collecting soon anyway, there aren't many albums I want to pick up so the CD not being made anymore won't affect me too much.
DVD's are another story, I have a few digital copies on my laptop, but they are not the same quality as a proper Blu Ray disc. Sigh when will the young generation driving the market realize it's not just about portability and flexibility it's about quality too.
The cloud is the worst thing to ever happen in the new technological world we live in, I understand the marketing genius behind it, but if consumers think it has anything to do with quality or satisfying their needs think again, it's all about control and profit.
It sickens me to watch kids line up outside a store to buy anything new and improved with a bloody apple stamped on it every few months like a bunch of trained robots with no minds of their own, pitiful.:mad
My kids are catching on and buying cd's but its going to be too late for them. they are seeing the apple bull crap for what it is. it all about controling every last drop of the dribble.
the problem is the 20 somethings, the buld of them are mindless. I streamed video 1 time and the quality is horrible. yet all folks talk about is how great and easy it is. gimme a break how easy do you need something. lazy sods.
