Streaming or some non-physical formats will eventually prevail since I believe corporations want to turn us all into bunch of floating obese, lazy consumers like the people in Wall-e:
Loved that movie!

I have to admit, I've been wanting to rip all of my movies to my own local sever and serve them up, ala' Netflix. But, I need a more beefier computer and right now, my desktop which runs my Plex server on it is not strong enough and is currently online via wireless instead of hardwired in.

Physical media?

Somewhere I have a flash drive in the bottom of my bag I have to dig around for everyone blue moon for some reason or another. There's a portable DVD burner I can plug into my laptop/desktop. Yes, my desktop doesn't even have any physical media capabilities. I had old IDE drivers and when I bought parts didn't realize I had old IDE drives and no IDE connectivity on the new motherboard. I use them so frequently I just never got around to buying a $20 drive. For the every other year or so occasion when I need to use a DVD, I have the portable one.
