Of course people will.

But has MS not said that the 199 price point is the "mainstream" price?

Is Netflix, and the Movie and TV show rentals not for the mainstream?

MS is pushing Arcade to the mainstream, but leaving out a huge portion of work they did to get the mainstream, which was the netflix deal, and the movies and shows.

The arcade is good for the cheap gamer, but for the mainstream, which MS believes the price is for, it's kind of weird that your stuff of the mainstream can't be done without bringing the price up to the more expensive models.

Has DD taken off with the mainstream?

Well, looking at the effort MS is doing with XBL and Netflix, they'd want you to believe yes. 

This is not about DD going mainstream, but the fact that MS is pushing for it to go mainstream.  No?

No it is about what the mainstream wants.

So the mainstream doesn't want Digital Downloads then?

They want to play Gears and Fable 2?

I don't see the point in the "mainstream" price if you have nothing for the mainstream.  I kinda thought that Netflix and the like were for the mainstream... 

So what does MS have for the mainstream then?  If it's not the netflix thingy or Digital Downloads?
