It is actually painful watching SD stuff after HD.

Sony today demonstrated the next level of disc copying. At the company's booth at CES, Sony demonstrated how you could put a Blu-ray Disc movie into a Playstation 3 and copy the film to a Playstation Portable or a Memory Stick. "This way, you can have a portable copy you can take with you," explains David Bishop, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Is only an issue if people bother to pay money for those things..

Personally, I couldn't care less about that aspect of things, so will not be an issue

Net speeds are still too slow for the majority of people for them to consider HD downloads.. its just silly and unnecessary. People aren't going to want to spend money and a days downloading to either rent a film or have it stuck on a HD.

People want to rent a film so they can pick it up whenever they like and watch it, not wait for a d/l and they want to buy a film so they own it as a hard copy they can't lose and can collect on a shelf so it makes them feel special.. don't they? :S

Apart from the shelf thats me even now i still buy any films that i have seen that i like. If you buy 20 films at 20gb and have them sitting on a 400gb drive that crashes will they let you download them again? And how long will it take your average house to download 400gb any way If you could do it in a month you are way over a lot of fair usage policies
