This is the next step in the xbox 360's evolution to be a digital media hub. I don't see why you would want to store anything on the xbox however, it would be much more efficient to keep the movies on your PC. I can see next year buying a window's vista machine with multiple cable cards sitting in my basement acting as my DVR and HD VOD host. I then will have my Xbox 360 as the only device in my TV room streaming video from my PC/server in the basement utilizing huge hard drives on a NAS. HD VOD adds the only feature that was missing vs. my Comcast DVR. With a PC, I can manage storage and expand to multiple rooms via media extenders or additional 360s as the price drops over the years. The biggest hurdle hear as always is content and the politics around it (Walmart, etc.). The digital future is bright!
