Whither Now DVDs?
It looks like DVDs may be the next technology whose predicted demise may actually come true. Announcements this week that new releases will be released day and date on iTunes and on video on demand at the same time that they are released on DVD may threaten the sales of DVDs (and undermine the studios hope that consumers will pay for multiple copies of the same movie). Add to this the news that most consumers can't tell the difference between Blu-Ray and standard DVDs on most televisions and you have to wonder if disks of plastic will only be useful as ironic drink coasters.
