Are Games Better Value Than DVD/Blu-Ray?

TechRadar poses and interesting question as to the perceived relative value between games and DVD/Blu-Ray movies. Quite simply, if you had EUR40 to spend, do you think you'd get more 'bang for you buck' from a game or a film? Interestingly, where does music fall into all of this? A few years ago, the same question was posed about DVDs against CDs - if you had EUR20 would you get more value from a film or an album? Unfortunately, the record industry doesn't seem to have evolved in any meaningful way - iTunes and other digital services are still using more or less the same model as vinyl sales, just the media and distribution methods have changed.

There are no simple answers to all of this. However, it is of significant importance that we keep a watch on the situation. Without continued sales, there will be a cut-back on new product, which means less jobs.

Also, where do ISPs fit in all of this? Nobody installs a 10Mbit broadband package to send and receive EMail. Do the ISPs owe some responsibility in declining revenues for content generators? Or are they increasing revenues through online stores?
