The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

Digital is getting closer and closer.. Netflix on XBL this year, next year it will be HD rentals. Great start.
i hope they would offer the download service on the ps3 also, it makes more sense on ps3, since the ps3 has a bluray drive. also if they can get better audio support in downloads the ps3 is the only system that can do hd audio. the xbox is limited in tha area.
while downloads will not be able to compete with bluray in terms of sales or qualiy, it would be good to have an an extra feature. plus you can download 3-4 blu ray/and dvds at a time and have access to over 7000 SD downloads ad soon some "HD" downloads via netflix (not the same quality of hd, since hd downloads arent nearly that good at all, but are better than standard def in most cases.
No it doesn't make more sense on the PS3. Digital downloads will compete with Blu-Ray. BTW, by far most people won't notice or care about the quality difference and most certainly hardly anyone will care about HD sound support.
I'd sign up in a heart beat for it as well on the XBox.
The fact the PS3 has a Blu-Ray drive shouldn't matter at all as to whether a NetFlix download is better with PS3 or Xbox360 or any other console. You don't need a Blu-Ray player to play downloaded HD content.
The Bluray drive means nothing to a download, if anything it competes with it! Come on downloads!!!
The PS3 doesn't even have movies available on the PSN. XBLM at least already has movies and TV shows.
Then there is the MCE aspect of the 360, the networked DVR functionality, the codec support, etc.
MS and Sony have differing models for personal media. I personnally like the MS model better.
"BTW, by far most people won't notice or care about the quality difference and most certainly hardly anyone will care about HD sound support."
I notice more and more xBox owners saying this (not sure if it's a response to the PS3 or what). They say how great HD looks and then say how you don't notice a difference between resolutions...which is it? Sorry, but I notice a huge difference between HD-tv (720p or 1080i) and Blu-ray. Whether you want to admit it or not, it is noticeable and once you see it, it's tough not to see it.
