I am one of those people who like to own movies, not rent them. If I find a movie I enjoy I often realize that I want to watch it again. Until digital downloads allow mainstream ownership of movies instead of rental they will never really catch on with me. Not to mention that ATT U-Verse is not available, nor is Verzion Fios in my area of Columbus, OH. I am stuck with archaic Time Warner Road Runner which has been nothing short of a terrible unreliable internet connection.
I do have Xbox Live if I really want to rent a movie to see if its good (as I said earlier, sometimes it takes way too long to DL), but I see a lot of movies in the theater so usually I know what I am buying when I get a BD or HD DVD.
Personally, I don't see digital downloads catching on as fast as a lot of people do. I think there will be a nice wide window for a high def disc format to thrive in.
