Going way off topic here, but that set top box HD downloader lordjedi mentioned would be a brilliant replacment for the current system of TV. Let's say you had access to instantly watch any show airing on the stations in your "cable service", in other words, anything you see in the weekly listing for your local newspaper on station that you recieve would be instantly accessible through this box. If you get sci-fi, then you could see any episode of Battlestar Galactica from the very begining of the series until the latest episode. They could designate places in each episode for commercial, just like they do now, and even if you are watching a ten year old show the top set box could automatically insert current advertisements into it. This way you could watch an entire run of a TV series for free if you can endure the commercials, and instead of releasing overly expensive DVD boxsets for seasons of a TV show, they could let you pay a fee to have access to watch the episodes without commercials. This could replace Tivo, DVRs, TV shows on DVD, and the only part I wouldn't like, movies on DVD. I really like owning my own movies with their own cases, pressed on a disc that I can pick up and carry with me anywhere.

To try to tie this blantantly off topic post back to the original discussion, I would really like the original trilogy with its own case, pressed on three discs, in good quality, that I can pick up and carry with me anywhere.
