Why HD Downloads won't catch on for some time

[Canada]

A lot of people think that downloading HD content off the internet is what Microsoft want.


Reasons why this will never happen exclusivly. I say exclusivly, because I would be stupid to think this would never happen.

1. Computers are not big enough to house over 100 movies now that would be about 500 gigs. Well you can get them this big I am sure but they would be really expensive.

2. What if you get a virus and your hard drive has to be wiped. Most people would have a hard drive exclusivly for movies I know but there are people who would not. There is the potential of loosing hundreds of movies if this happens. If this happend would you have to pay to download them again.

3. There are people like my Dad who loves movies but for the most part hates computers. He would much rather go to a store and pick up a disk.

4. What about elderly people who love movies and HD but don't have a computer


My basic point is that while download might become popular down the road there will always in my opinion be physical media (media that you can hold in your hand) for the next 30 yrs or so.
