Re: Format wars all over again

said by PhoenixDown See Profile :

While I love the idea of being able to obtain service from different providers (Sony PS3, MS Xbox, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, etc) -- I simply hate the fact that they all have their own proprietary DRM which makes transferring content all but impossible.

What if I want to ditch the PS3 and go to Amazon or vice versa? I would have to rebuy all my movies which sucks. I'd rather buy a DVD or Blueray and at least I own it and can (try) to rip it into whatever format pleases me the most.
This is about RENTALS not buying.
