I'd say that we're nearing the end of physical-media-specific players. We have entered into the age where data-only players and net speeds have become sufficient to suit our needs. Spinning media will no longer be relevant for playback.
After BluRay (is phased out) I suspect the only real purpose of a file existing on physical medium will be to allow it to be transported to a remote player - however, I strongly suspect that the big-media-players won't opt for that distribution system, instead preferring to stick with "Delivery by the net only".
Paul.
