Death of DVD to begin soon

The death of the DVD will soon begin as Netflix plans to offer "streaming only" plans to its customers, allowing them to watch an unlimited number of movies and TV shows on both their televisions and computers without also getting those red envelopes in the mail. 
 
I think that within 2-3 years, sales of DVD's will trickle to near nothing.  Blu-Rays will still be sold as they promise a higher resolution - for now.  I think it is entirely likely that within 5 years, there won't be the need to rent or purchase any physical media.  Which means Blockbusters days are indeed numbered.

That sounds accurate to me.
