[Bebop]

Now there is a rumor that Paramount is jumping ship too.

HD DVD may have been delivered a fatal blow this week but I'm still not convinced there will be any winner when it comes to a new, dominant physical media.  Who has space to store all those VHS tapes, DVDs, CDs, games, and now a new medium to buy all the same movies over again?  

I'll wait until they have the download stuff worked out.  That'll be the real winner.

On the other hand, I don't like downloadable stuff, unless it's DRM free. While music has gone DRM free, I just can't see the same happening with video anytime soon.

I'd rather have some physical media that, once I buy it, I can continue to use that physical media for as long as I have equipment to play it back on.

At $3.00 or $4.00 a download it ain't going to happen but maybe they will consider a higher price download if they can figure out the piracy issues.

We'll find out on Tuesday at MacWorld.
