Physical media on the way out?

Sarcastic Gamer writes:

Eagle-eyed community members might have noticed that like many forms of media, physical products are slowly on the way out. Websites such as Netflix and platforms like the Xbox Live Video Marketplace allow you to stream or download movies across the internet direct to you, without the need for any DVDs. In music, CD singles are slowly disappearing from shelves; the UK high-street chain Woolworths recently announced its plans to phase out singles altogether, despite selling an arguably-profitable one in three of them in the country. Other stores such as zavvi and HMV have cut down on the quantity of physical CDs they sell on the shop floor, launching their own digital download services to compete with the likes of iTunes and Napster.

What's on the way out next then? Games? Speculation awaits through the link below...
