I was speaking a movie producer today ,that I've know for nearly 30 years . CD/DVD manufacturing plant ! THE DVD /CD are dead . Warner Bros have stopped producing hard copies & the rest are going to follow next year. It's going to be ALL DOWNLOADS only soon . It costs 25c to produce a DVD blank $2.50 for a printed & burnt & packaged DVD . So buy that DVD manufacturing plant now ,sit on it for 10 years ,& DVD's will be retro again by than .
I don't think so - there will always be a group of people who want a hard copy. The record was supposed to bite the dust. There are more records produced now than have been in the last 15 years.
Sony ? :lol: They'll probably be the last to pull the plug . I'm sure it want be totally dead industry , I'd say blanks will still be produced . But new releases will no longer be released on hard copy & that includes music as well . By the end of 2013 is what I was told
i think i'll still prefer a dvd for a little while yet - even though i qualify for the FREE NBN!!!! Yee hah!!! Just found out on Friday. $2500 satellite gift. Now i just need to get the electricity on to power it...... Saving, saving....
Only 2 oz's I have are rabbits but silver is as silver does. I'm gonna bookmark this page - what date are we looking at for me to take my silver? Edit - a silver stackers round? Great coz I wasn't going to get one! Let me know if you think this is a fair swap even though you will be giving me the money!!!
Well I spoke to another industry insider (his brother owns Dex Audio ) and he says YES The DVD/CD disk is dead
That will mean all dvd rental stores will be completely fried by then. I'm surprised there is still some around now even.
We've recently went past the tipping point between downloads & physical More downloads now than physical sales
Meanwhile, I am lightyears ahead. I'm still wondering when you people are going to click onto consumerism. DRM is one of a few tricks to insure you keep buying. Thanks IPv6. Re: Hardcopies. Prism Holographic Disks are also on the cards. There will always be hardcopies available, but eventually all data will be stored volatile, and the only 'hardcopies' floating about will be in cloud nine. Prepare yourself for the day when computers will no longer have a place in the home, but rather a keyboard and mouse with internet access to cloud. Then augmentation. Then the matrix. Followed by your end. There will always be them annoying Sarah and John Connors out there, trying to distribute data on USBs, Vinyls, CDs, DVDs et cetera. However, these scums will be swiftly dealt with. Not even a Faraday Cage will save your biscuits. So far to date, the most surest way of storing data in modern times, all without being affected by remote wiping or EMI, whilst being cost effective for the average, is on Vinyl Records. Only revert to playing it when you need to reload restore, and I am not limiting to sound. Everything else is biscuits.
Shit I must be getting old, no ffn clue what half of that means exept S&J Conners and vinyl records .thank fuck
