I've been saying that this is the way the industry is going for years.

i don't have a TV, but I can download episdoes of shows I want to see for a couple bucks and keep them forever. I can watch them on a plane on my iPod or on my TV or on my computer.

They can come with me and I can show them to a friend, so I don't have to buy a DVD.

Hard goods are going to disapper soon and we'll only have AppleTV units and cable. I don't have to bother rushing home to see my favorite shows and I dont' have to mess with a Tivo. I just subscribe to my favorite shows and they download automatically once the episode is released.
