The end of VHS.. and DVD Just heard on the Drudge Report tonight (I know, I know, but it happened to be on the last station I had listed to when I got in the car) that Wal-Mart will be ending sales of VHS movies and moving to a strictly DVD format. Though I could not find the specific news story he was referencing, this seems to be a trend well-documented (look here and here). Drudge commented that this means we are all moving to DVDs. Maybe this is true, but I think we are already well into the post-DVD world. I was just speaking to my wife about this yesterday: she was suggesting that we might want to think about getting some sort of rack for our burgeoning collection of CDs and DVDs. My response was: why? It is not going to get much bigger. I believe that, in the future, we will not be purchasing physical media (such as CD or DVD) at all, but will be receiving it all digitally.

Last week, we purchased the latest Jars of Clay CD, Redemption Songs, for a discounted $13 from the local Christian bookstore. As an exercise, I just went online and found the same album available for download for $8.91. In the future, I will always be looking online for my music. I may not buy another CD again!

But what if you don't want to listed to it on your computer? I can then burn it to a CD or use my new SIIG Wireless Audio Link to broadcast from my PC or PDA to my home or car stereo (yes, it really works! Got it from Fry's yesterday for $20.).  ¶ 10:08 PM 0 comments
