  It's a very good idea, but I can't see it taking really off for a good few years yet. Internet speed simply remains too slow for people to choose to download movies rather than go to a shop and purchase them. Alright, for countries like Japan who have universally lightning-fast speeds it might be good, but for most of the Western world, speeds still aren't fast enough. Heck, I can't get any faster than 2MB, and most of the time it's around 512k. You'll be hard-pushed to find someone in the UK who has an internet-speed faster than 8MB.

  True. It'll probably take a few hours just to download a film.
  I suppose if you plan ahead it'll be ok. Start downloading the film on Friday to watch it on Saturday night.

    Course not. They'd go bankrupt ;;;
    
    I wonder if they'd offer a freebie though. Either an episode (I dunno if they'll be doing TV eps at all)....Or an old movie. For a limited time, of course...
    
    But yeah, DLing a 1080p movie? That'd be crasy >_> I have a 1080p movie that is just over an hour long, and it is like 2.4GB >_>
    
    Well, the 360 offers this service, so Sony has an uphill battle. Though they have their own studio for exclusive support....
