Lets hope the young people who prefer convenience over quality don't call this one. I downloaded The Fountain off Live, it took 3-4 hours, had a lossy DD 5.1 track and didn't look as good as the Blu Ray version no doubt does.

Realistically downloads won't be viable for another decade to meet the quality of HD-DVD or Blu Ray(not to mention fast enough that you could start watching when the download begins and not catch up with it). And right now for example, to play Half Life 2 on the PC even campaign mode, you need to be connected to the Steam network, and it's often down, so you can't play a single player game you paid for. How aggrivating would that be translated to movies?!
