LS2LS7.. it's working just fine on XBL and HD movies and shows look spectacular and I used it when my internet was about 4.5mbps. Worked fine, I just had to wait a bit longer for the download to cache (about 10-15 mins).
Now I have 25mbps (and I don't live in super rural area either) and it pretty much takes me like 2-3 mins before I watch the movie in HD. Between my Blu-Ray movies and HD DVD movies and XBL HD movies for example, I am yet to see a difference. There is some on some movies but it's completely negligible difference.

I'd really love to smoke what you're smoking, to get away from reality. For real.
LOL at HD DVD the one paying through the nose..ha ha.. that's really a gem there. No doubt. Like HD DVD wasn't the superior and more finished format from the very beginning. The only advantage BR had was space and that we saw in quality meant absolutely ZERO.
You are either late into getting information or simply read nonsense that many people here on Engadget are talking about. Complete disconnect with reality.
No need to really speculate anything. We are seeing huge increase in digital download services and HD already being planned pretty soon. The world is not going to wait for Sony. We had a good cheap, mainstream friendly HD at 1080p. Sony screwed it up and pushed Blu-Ray garbage. It wont' take long until end of this year for people and companies to realize that digital is everywhere and a real business model with longevity, not optical media.
I do agree with you that DVD will be here to stay. By the time 80% of people even has HDTV, optical media and Blu-Ray will be in one of those articles in PC magazine about technologies that never took off.
