DVDs and CDs Should be Obsolete

Well, CDs are pretty much obsolete now with the success of the MP3 player, but we should do away with them, and DVDs all together. Think about it. These have to be one of the worst media formats ever. I was watching a DVD today, the great indie movie The Salton Sea, and it kept skipping. I’ve only watched the movie 1 other time and I take care of my DVDs. So because of a minute scratch on the DVD it is pretty much useless. What we need is some kind of memory card format for movies. The size it takes for massive amounts of storage space is increasingly smaller and smaller every few months. How awesome would it be to buy a movie on a card, get all the features of a DVD, superb picture and sound, bonus features, and more, and all you do is just slide the card into a reader on the TV. This is what we need. Get rid of discs that are prone to scratches and lenses that are susceptible to dust, fingerprints, misalignment, etc. When will the movie, music, and tech companies finally realize this is the way to go? If not some kind of memory card, surely they can come up with something better than discs.
