i use "digital downloads" pretty often and they a nowhere near ready for primetime yet. the quality is on par with DVD for good quality movies and nowhere even close to bluray. for that reason alone i will continue to buy bluray movies.

i think it's possible for this to go mainstream, but not for a few more years anyway, and not until you're actually allowed to "own" the movies and you can store them on a set-top box. adding a computer to the requirements makes things too complicated.

then there's the bandwidth issue. currently canada's major cable internet provider has a 60gb cap for the main service, 95 if you want to pay a lot more. that's just not going to cut it if you're looking for even DVD quality movies. if i wanted to download something bluray quality i'd be limited to 1 movie a month lol...

nightflier - if you're looking for an SACD/BR player look for a 60gb launch PS3, they play SACDs and you'd be looking at closer to $500
