Personally, I will ALWAYS want to own physical media, be it music or movies. That's just my personality, though. I suspect that at least 95% of the people on this site will feel the same.

VOD will replace physical media to a certain extent in the future (it's got a long way to go) but I think there will always be an option to buy a disc, for those of us who prefer it. Similarly, I think CDs will be around for those to want to own an "album" even though m3ps are taking over the music industry. It may come to a point where a CD is a limited-edition novelty for new releases, but I think they'll never go away completely.

I think DVDs/blu-ray discs will have a stronger hold than CDs, because of the nature of video and the portability issues.
