The original advantage of optical disks was that they could be stamped out quickly and cheaply (although initial setup costs are very high), whereas 25-50 gigabytes of solid state storage is still kind of pricey. But 7 megabit DSL pricing has become pretty reasonable in my area, and high-def rentals from Apple have become a viable alternative to Blu-Ray as far as I'm concerned. I still want physical media for movies in my permanent collection, but that may comprise only 5-10% of what I watch.
I was delighted to find that the big independent video rental place in town now carries Blu-Ray, but costs for a 3-day rental are comparable to iTunes Music Store (30 days to watch, 24 hours to finish), and of course there's the physical media to be returned.
