So when 'later' comes around you be sure and let the rest of us know. And when the Internet companies stop with the bandwidth caps will be around that time.
HD downloads are behind the curve because of the bandwidth needed. When it catches up, then it will be a force to be reckoned with in the HD market.

Then I should certainly hope that you pipe up with said reasoning whenever nay-sayers start complaining about Blu-Ray player pricing.
It's a given that prices will fall and entice people to buy. Like Dare said, it's obvious and would apply to the competition as well.

Plus, in this generation of game systems, it wouldn't have mattered if they released it 2 years earlier, it would still be behind the Wii.

Both "HD" gaming systems are getting their asses handed to it by the Wii.
True, but PS3 sales have been hurt by Blu-ray overall, and now it must compete with more expensive components, which gives the edge to MS in the future as well.

Does that change your opinion of CNet?

Kinda funny how opinion of something changes when they don't agree with your slant on the world.
