I know it's been said before, but Microsoft's "trojan horse" console scheme is all business. It's only logical that their next console (and probably all future consoles) will feature Marketplace-only games, with permanent, digital ownership upon purchase like Valve's "Steam."
As an owner of the HD DVD add-on who relies on NetFlix for said movies, it would be even cooler if more of them, from more studios (looking at you, Fox and Disney) were available on Live as well. Of course, the question is whether Blu-Ray-backing studios would enter into any film-distribution agreement with Microsoft. They have been quoted as saying HD DVD could be the next Betamax, and stand to profit more with Live purchases anyway, so it does seem plausible, right?
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
