Maybe not as soon as you think. Studios keep a tight control over which movies can get digitized, some will not release some of their old movies to streaming.

Maybe not as soon as you think. Studios keep a tight control over which movies can get digitized, some will not release some of their old movies to streaming. Blockbuster dies rather quickly mostly because of Netflix. So, in order to predict DVD by mail business dying you have to show the alternative. Streaming currently is by no means a match. One could see Redbox putting more advanced kiosks with more selections (there was talk about kiosks with thousands of titles that would burn the DVD while you shopped) which might be threat.
