call me a traditionalist, but i'd prefer my HD movies on physical media.
Trying to download 50 or so gb for just one movie? i'd rather spend a couple of bucks on the disk than spend many years (at my connection speed) and hair-pulling moments trying to download it.
So for me it would be a great thing for smaller tv shows in hi-def and/or trailers (which they already have) but for whole movies? count me out I'm afraid.

until i get 10gbs internet with no cap i just don't see the point right now, but maybe I will in 2011

 

I don't know what movies you are talking about, but lets just say that I "aquired" a HD copy of Children of Men, and it's only 6-7gb.

maybe, but uncompressed audio and video can be HUGE, especially at HD resolutions.

I just took 50gb as a ballpark figure for a theoretical movie that takes up an entire Blu-Ray

besides, 6-7gb would still take a few days for me to download at my current speeds :(

 

 What speed are you running at, then?

The audio and video quality was good enough for me. I don't think Sony would be going full out on AQ et PQ as they want to give Blu-ray some advantages.
