I think the only real use for digital downloads right now is to give people stuff to play on their video iPods. But that novelty will quickly wear off. It will only really come into play a few years down the road, when computers become the center for entertainment in everyone's homes, and video will stream out to your TVs or cable boxes from your home PC. That's when this will be a big deal. But until then, it's not going to do anyone much good.

I can see these sites catching on for rentals but never for buying the movie in replace of a DVD. I have to admit, 1.99 for a rental isn’t that bad.
