January 2009: Say GoodBye DVD

Movie and TV downloads will go through a paradigm shift next year. You are already seeing NetFlix offer Movielink and many other movie production houses and TV networks opening up the Internet's streaming video.

Mark my words. January 2009 you will begin to see the first discontinuation of the standard DVD sold in stores. It will be on a science fiction movie or teen thriller. Over the early part of 2009 you will continue to see movie and TV show releases sold only on the Internet. The DVD will go the way of the CD and video cassette tape.

Your neighborhood video store will go the way of the dinosaurs, replaced by a Yoga chain store. If you can get a DVD player for $30, then the market is saturated.
