I've bought in simply to get another HD device and media format onto my HD

telly.  I've got 360/PS3/SkyHD/Mediacentre covering all the bases.  I
still 
believe that physical media is fooked as a media format.  Take Apple as an

example, they are just about to begin releasing films on ITunes on the
same 
day as a physical DVD release, that's the death blow for DVD.  We'll soon 
see DVD sales year on year take a nose-dive as that of audio CD's.
