But I saw this years ago. They had a demo of it at my local Sony store. I personally didn't like it. It was too big, too expensive, and I could just get my shows off of BT anyways.

Even if its expensive now its still a move to the future of being able to watch anything any where any time (if theres a net connection[untill the whole world is wired{or at least the heavily populated areas}]). This is active competition, which is a good thing.
