I was watching it on a screen that was (at a guess) around 60 ft diagonally, and listening to a sound system that cost nearly £100,000. Now, your average multiplex doesn't compare to that, but the picture and sound are still an awful lot more impressive than any home cinema system.

I agree totally, I very much prefer the cinema experience, the size of the screen and the sound!
But sadly, peoples habits will dictate what happens next, I have been to many a film at my local cinema where they must wonder why the hell they bother paying the wages for the staff, they cannot be recouping the money from the punter to survive too long
Piracy has a lot to do with what will happen next, I have turned down many an offer of a pirate disc knowing that although I have to wait a bit longer the cinema experience will be worth the wait.
What I heard would or could happen is when a major film is due to be released it will coincide with it being made available to department stores where you would go along pop in your money, select your film, it will whizz off in next to no time and you will take it home on a limited life, ofcourse this brings in other issues such as the hardware.
