Agree - it's all a bit of a long reach to say that's why MS are pushing HDDVD - and yes, they do opt for HDDVD on the xbox - maybe they developed HDDVD for xbox just to prolong the format war and buy themselves time to perfect downloads !
hehe - conspiracy theories are great - you can take them as far as you like
Home internet speeds are rocketing - my first modem, about 10 years ago, was 9.4k, now I got 100Mb !!!!
not sure file size will be a problem regarding downloads for long.....
Also, some smart ass will come up with a better format to compress HD media.
Also, don't worry about personal storage space...... just archive all your movies to some kind of removable media - eg, Blu Ray disk..... err..... oh.......
