Yep, I've been using Amazon Unbox for a while now. Fuck blockbuster and netflix, I'd rather pay $2.99 press a few buttons and see the movie of my choice, at that time, in 15 minutes.

Or how about TV shows. Wait a few years for the show to come out on DVD, or have it automatically downloaded to my PC within hours of it airing on TV, commercial free.

That said, its going to be a while until the digital downloads catches up with DVD inventory. Right now Amazon has about 9,000 movies for download but there is a lot of junk in there. Give it another 4 years and its not Netflix+Blockbuster that will be in trouble, but DVD and Bluray. All of physical media is in trouble.
