They're dying a slow, painful death. A subscription model is the only way people will want that crap, and even then they will never quite get rid of the feeling of having a movie in your bookshelf and saying "I own that." Especially with lossless audio. I loves me some lossless audio.
Does this look like final proof to the "downloads will replace blu ray in a year" crowd that all is not right in download town? When I am an old man, downloads will replace physical media. By the time the kids I don't have yet are old enough to drive, they might be a connoisseur only product, but I plan on using my blu ray player for a long, long time, and after that some other, higher capacity physical media.
