That's why I don't buy blu-rays or DVDs anymore, and haven't for a while.You do realize there are lots of us who live in the boonies and will likely not see 1 gigabit broadband any time soon, if ever? I am personally not a fan of the 'cloud'. The idea is neat and I kind of like the idea for a completely local computer system, ie, one that covers just my house. But it sucks for internet for those of us who do not live in locations with large pipes for bandwidth.
