Apple is going after XBL Marketplace not Blu-ray. You can't compare rentals versus purchases. $6 dowloads vs. $30, gosh wonder why they've sold more. Give Blu a another year and this will settle itself. There is room for both business models. Just because you can buy a DVD doesn't mean that Netflix and Blockbuster can't survive. And before you go there, Blockbuster is dying because of On-Demand, and Netflix. The apple downloads may even hurt them more than Blu.
