Also, I'm guessing this is like the testing grounds for a massive switchover from DVDs. This would be a win-win for both the company and customers. Any speculation on when that will occur?

I semi-disagree, if only because some people like to watch stuff on their big screen TVs, and something that's formatted to be watched on a small computer screen might come out all pixel-y on a big screen. At least at this point.

except part of this would obviously be increasing resolution to dvd quality.

bandwith is going to prevent this from happening for quite some time, if ever.

LOL at the idea that bandwidth could prevent DVD-quality streaming video from ever happening.

I've noticed some pauses. Generally liked the quality, though. Good for documentaries.

I don't really enjoy watching movies on my computer, though, so it's of limited use to me. I sit in a chair in an office all day already.

bandwidth would not prevent this from becoming standard. If it was free, yes, the site would go broke. But if you charge money it will work.

I hope blockbuster takes this approach as well. Competition is good.
