Re: What did we expect?

Yeah but $6 for an HD-Lite movie IMO is excessive given that Netflix and other online rental services (eg Blockbuster) don't charge extra for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray rentals. Of course you need a new $200+ HD-DVD or $500+ Blu-Ray player but those prices will come down.

It's the convenience of being able to be both:
•Instantly Gratified
-and-
•Not have to get up or do anything

Plus, I think the Xbox 360 probably has more market penetration than any HD Optical players right now. Sure, they'll definitely catch-on the same way DVDs did, but the download service is certainly a nice stepping stone.

It's not instant when you have to download it Vongo style.

It should be very simple for cable and telcos to stop whining long enough to beat a $6 HD-Lite copy of Poseidon.

Which will break after a month's worth of BluRay movie watching.

Did you so quickly forget how awful the PS2 was as a DVD player?

My PS3 works just fine...so far. If it breaks, I still have the forced upon me 1 year EBGames warranty LOL.

In all honesty, while the controller is a bit of a pain in the ass, I understand that a new DVD BT remote is due for release.

LOL, no kidding. EBGames after last weeks online presales of PS3's for 1/1/07 delivery just put the listing back up for 1/19/07 delivery so maybe I'd only be without for a month or two.
