I agree that as a consumer play, I think it's going to have some problems. Personally speaking, I want a car that has infotainment, adaptive cruise control, side collision avoidance, lane keeping, etc. I think the very vocal crowd that claims they don't is not going to be putting its money where...

They don't have a monopoly. That's what all those discs are for. Hell, GameStop and the other used game sellers are still competition, assuming publishers don't turn off resale (in which case, it's not MS I'd be angry at.)

As others have pointed out, Microsoft has recently started doing rather deeply-discounted sales. They're not the bargain-basement ($5-$10) deals you see on Steam, but I've seen pretty good games at $10-$15. Hell, I picked up Sleeping Dogs for $15 lately, even got almost all the DLC for a total...

I'm surprised it took so long for people to start bringing up managed copy. If Microsoft can convince the DVD-CSS Forum to adopt managed copy for DVDs in addition to HD-DVD, they could have a huge advantage for Media Center.

I'm not a huge fan of the new business model here, but one week isn't the end of the world. The essential problem is that they can't give Gold members _any_ perks without people claiming that Silver members got screwed. I mean, let's say gold members got some DLC free - you guys would just be...

I had a bit of choppiness when trying to stream an AVI with 2500kbps XviD and 320kbps DD-5.1 using WMP11 (file was encoded from DVD rip with Handbrake). Anyone else had that issue? I'm reasonably sure it wasn't on the server end (Q6600, 4gb of RAM, gigabit ethernet, locally stored...
