A physical media that is bought and paid for has its place and cost no more than legal DL content. Hulu of course, doesn't count.

When you factor in storage costs and backups.
A typical movie (BR) = $20. Will play on ANY player.
A typical HD DL movie = $15, requires 20GB of HD space (give or take) = 50 HD movies per 1TB drive is $100... = $2 per movie in storage... but if it matters, you should have a 2nd drive for back up = $4 now.... now you're up to about $19+ for a featureless movie that may or may-not be flexible enough to work on more than 2~3 devices.

It really isn't hard to pick up disc.

As shown on YOUTUBE.... the xbox360-slim will STILL eat discs if you move the unit while the disc is spinning. OUCH. Already, there are videos on it happening in E3.

Yeah, its user error... but come-on!

You Americans need to pull your heads in, you get a much better deal on ALL electronics. I paid $1000 for my PS3 at launch and almost all new video games are $100+ here in Australia. Televisions are 40% more expensive for no good reason and Apple products are even worse. I can't believe you muppets ever whinge about the cost of these things.

This is for new Xbox 360 converts. If it 3-flashing-red-lights quickly, that's too bad - stick with the 'Jasper' mobo-equipped units. It looks cool BTW.
