Companies have already tried making crippled devices using DRM, and time and time again consumers have rejected such restrictions. Why? Because once you pay for media you expect it to be usable across the devices you own, not tied down to one device.
Google the history of DRM and the music industry to see a real-world test case of your scenario.

So, you would not buy an inexpensive form of eyewear ( with ear buds ) that allowed you to become immersed in what you were watching, to which you could insert an inexpensive flash drive type device shipped to you buy a sponsor that contained up to 10 years worth of content?
OK ........ even though you can't play X-Box games on a Playstation or on your PC and you had to buy the console on faith that enough games would be released for the X-Box to get your money's worth and few people bother to mod the device or rip the the content ........ but this is beside the point ................
You take the amount of sales lost from piracy + from mega Tube channels + user uploads to mega Tubes and you convert that into free eyewear for the customer with the purchase of content.
Now the customer has a player that he can purchase more PORN for and each sponsor gives you the option of purchasing PORN at a discount if you already have the player.
I'm not really seeing a downside to this.
