As a complete movie geek, I can’t see any future in blu-ray, in spite of this fan-boy article.

Lots of talk on another forum I visit about how blu-ray will be the last format you can physically own. The future, they debate, is in pay-per-view.

It does make some sense. I love watching movies but, for the most part, I've stopped buying them. I looked into my DVD case and saw dozens of movies I've only watched once and started renting instead of purchasing.

It does make sense, you’re right!

However, I’m one of those types who likes to own the things – I see having a library of films no differently than having a library of my favorite books. The movie companies have been trying to move us into pay-per-view for years (divx, anyone?) with their greedy, teeny little minds having wet dreams about pay-per-listen for audio.
