So, a full .mkv HD movie download (@ 720p or 1080p) will hit your bandwidth for about 6-8gb  . Hope you all have fast & unlimited bandwidth ISPs.
I don't think we're quite there Tosh but keep dreaming if you want.
EDIT - For those worried about their extensive DVD collection, (I assume HD DVD players do this to) BR players (aka my PS3) can & do upscale SD format DVD's to near HD quality. Now, to the keen eye there is a huge difference between BR quality & upscaled DVD's but to the general user, it's very good quality. So, your DVD collections are safe.

I disagree - We are there. I'm changing over my broadband to FIOS and will have 30 MBit/sec download as of next month. That would get me your 6 GB file in less than 30 minutes - probably shorter than to go rent it at the store.
I also have friends that are bypassing HD DVD and Blu Ray alltogether, and either DL all their content, or have Comcast send it to them.
