>However the difference is that this has already been an option for people like you for roughly the last 50 years. You're correct, but for most of the past 50 years, those people have had to wait for months beyond its initial release date in order to legally access it in their homes. That means months of avoiding chatter about it at work or in public that could spoil the movie for them. >This decision is the first solid indication that going to theater might not be an option for people like me in the future. I mean, maybe? Perhaps that would depend more on where you live. There will always be a certain portion of the populace that prefers a theater experience, so there will always be that option available. I'd just imagine that there won't be as many theaters operating a decade from now as there currently are.
