On top of that, even if a buy model is in place the good download services keep track of your purchase history and if your drive fails you are able to restore/redownload movies that you have bought on your new drive. Think of it like Steam for movies. If your computer's hard drive dies, do you lose everything you've bought on Steam? Of course not. The redownload process is similar to how movie download services like Xbox Live Marketplace work.

Neat.
So you only have to re-download gigabytes worth of information every time a hard drive dies. It's great that it's available to re-download, it's not at all time-efficient or convenient.
What would you rather do, wait for a 25GB HD movie to download, or go to the shelf and grab the movie?
