In Reply to: Does it make any sense to get into Blu-ray now? posted by Bhasi on August 13, 2009 at 05:04:26:
Downloads are great for rentals, because there's never any hassles about damaged media, out-of-stock items, or late fees.
But downloaded content is generally encrypted and DRM-protected, and if the remote DRM server goes down, you are locked out of your movies.
I have an AppleTV and it's great. But even so, there was one weekend where their DRM server was offline, and there was nothing I could do. The movie was already on my hard drive, but I was locked out. Their customer service made things right--on Monday.
But when it comes to actually BUYING a movie, I feel safer with Blu-Ray, because as far as I know, they can't actually be "revoked".
