i don't know about other people but having 5 places you can watch it is plenty. iphone. apple tv. macbook pro. leaves two other licenses for what exactly?

No iphone, no apple TV, no mac. With a DVD I can take it to a friend house and plop it into his DVD player. Can you do that with your digital download? Nope. Digital downloads from XBox Live are not only tied to a 360 it's tied to the 360 you downloaded it to. If I fill up my measly 120 GB hard drive I have to delete some of my downloads. Sure I can re-download them later for free if I want to watch them, but that's a pain in the ass. Not to mention I'd have to delete something else.

considering that a HD 1080p movie costs me 14.95 to buy compared to buying it at the cheapest prices say 29.95 for HD movies at BestBuy, I will take the drm sacrifice. I have no idea how i could use up 5 licenses for a movie, that is UNLESS people want to whore it out to friends and on the internet. there is nothing else in my home that needs a license.
i hear that the drm will be dropped in a short period of time.

Apple sells "HD" movies? That's odd no one else does. Not Amazon not XBL not PSN the best you can do is rent. Also those movies are not 1080p they are 720p. And if think a "HD" download is the same as a blu-ray you are very ingorant about how shit works. Blu-ray 40 Mbps bitrate "HD" download 6 Mbps bitrate. Talk about compressed all to shit.
