how long you think it takes to download 6GB vs the length of the movie.

About 3.5 hours so not quite streaming yet. However, I\'ll soon be upgrading to a 10 mbit connection, so that\'d take, what, 1-2 hours? Not too bad.

not many people have access to 10mb+ (in the US, i understand other countries are vastly different)

catering to the elite is not a good business model.

At the very least Microsoft just wants to make life miserable for Sony...caught in the crossfire is unsuspecting HD-DVD or just maybe blu-ray owners that will be left with expensive paperweights.  The longer this war goes on the more victims it will claim.  It would be nearly over by now if MS joined the Blu-ray group (which Sony is just a part of) or remained neutral and didnt pay off Universal or Warner.

Microsoft doesnt care either way.  Throw your money to them if you wish.  

They\'ll take it.

Back on subject, sort of.  Look at this Amazon.com sales chart of the 3 consoles.  

Wii is red, 360 green,  and PS3 blue



Some explain the PS3\'s erratic behavior with whether it is in stock or not.  But where it is curently at I think it will stay for a while until better games are released.  3rd place behind  Wii with the 360 leading.

if they say 3-4 hours..thats not TOO bad. Granted i could go to blockbuster in 5 minutes but im still stuck with normal dvd\'s that probably look worse than the HD downloads (on my monitor).

Can play games while its downloading or just leave the 360 on.

it "expires" a day after u watch it and gets knocked off ur harddrive. It\'s just a rental. I think after u buy/download it you have 2 days to watch it.

Im actually not sure how it gets off your harddrive since i havent done it yet. But i\'d imagine it does.

Which is why I\'d go to Blockbuster and buy the movie in HD ;) Now if I only had an HD tv and an HD player (whichever wins this war is what I\'m buying, lol).

the whole betamax thing needs to stop being mentioned.
Blu-Ray is not even a sony proprietary format.
every time some moron on the internet brings it up, i want to just throw up all over my keyboard.


It\'s very much like the Betamax Vhs war in that there were two formats to buy. One that was going to stick around and the other which was just gonna suck money out of people\'s wallets.

Is M$ doing deals under the table with Warner and Univeral?  $ talks.

Industry support is just as lopsided in Blu-ray\'s favor.  But HD-DVD\'s biggest supporter is Microsoft,  which some believe want both formats to fail so they can usher in the end of discs and the beginning of downloaded media only.  Bill Gates says in speeches discs are a necessary evil,  and I\'m sure they just want another way to be big brother in what they allow you to do with the content you download from them.


Other than the HD-DVD add-on, which is manufactured by Toshiba, Microsoft has no interest (investments) in the format war, so the thought of MS having deals under the table in regards to HD-DVD is not substantial.  Why, because Microsoft wouldn\'t benefit from it.  Toshiba is likely the one to have a deal with regards to HD-DVD, and Microsoft is likely to have one concerning exclusive downloaded media.  

Microsoft believes that downloads are the future of media, thus the push of a media-driven OS (Vista) and services like Live to deliver that media.  Big Brother?!  You mean like the rootkit that was found on Sony manufactured CD\'s that tracked user data.  I believe they just got in trouble again for still selling discs that have that rootkit on it.
