CDs And DVDs To Go The Way Of The LP

Postby CowboySlim on Tue Sep 02, 2003 3:12 pm

Was this written by the same people who made this prediction with respect to VHS? Remember, VHS was to be obsolesced by downloading movies on demand (as opposed to the DVD which has replaced it) and Blockbuster was to have been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy three years ago.

Just imagine - a movie takes you 3 days to save!! The RIAA would LOVE this!!! :wink:
