Digital distribution is about 2 years away. Microsoft is not dumping HD-DVD for Bluray, It is dumping it for Xbox live. The technology is here to have every movie ever made at your fingertips. The ONLY problem now is that you cannot download HD content faster then you can watch it. This will change very soon. This is going to change the way we watch movies and TV.

That would be great only if everyone took their consoles online. The HDD drive in the new Microsoft console will be huge, probably 1 Terabyte, if they will allow people to download games. If the 120GB HDD costs $180, I don't want to fathom how much that console all together will cost.
