Other then my giant f*&cked up statement about PSN, my points still stand.

MS isn't referring to NOW but the future, and I find it funny how a lot of people here seem ...scared??... that digital distribution might be the future and that you're $400-$500 Blu ray machine that plays game might be obsolete before it even becomes maintstream.

No worries though, I probably feel the same if I had been suckered into Sony's promises..

Digital distribution is the future.  It will start to be a reality in the next generation, and you may see diskless consoles 2 generations from now.  That's 15 - 20 years from now.  So why is MS talking about it now.  Is it to divert attention from their pathetic attempt to prop up hd dvd?

 

 

Yes, if HD-DVD had won, there is no way in hell MS would be pushing digital downloads.

 

And Netflix would of been on the PS3??

 

 

Nope, currently, Netflix only works on Microsoft's OS's, because they are the only ones with accredited players. It's a copy write thing (why DL does not work on a Mac yet).

My guess is Netflix would be on the 360, and Microsoft would be touting it as a niche market application, and not much else.
