I think all this multitasking is more of a consequence rather than the cause.    I really dont think of anybody playing a movie, watch nfl, and play a game at the same time.   Skype and playing sure, it is kind of beneficial.      Also, if multitasking is so important, then why not copy the movie to the HDD too? It would make the experience smother.

Actually, substitute a call from work for the NFL and I do just that.  I'll be playing a game, get a work call that I have to take - might even be a skype call now that the New Kinect 2.0 is better that my other Skype cameras.   Then come back to my game.

Or play a game, and a friend calls to check out some crazy funny drama on TV.  Pause game, go see drama, make a funny comment, we have a good laugh, chat for a bit, then back to game, movie or whatever. 

Having an easy and fast way to switch between all that will be very convenient and a good plus for my lifestyle.  If I can say "Xbox, Pause" in all games it will be great.  (As with some games, the guide button still leaves the background music on.)
