Napster eyes movie downloads | CNET News.com that are priced at $2.99. But since not everyone wants to watch from their computer, it seems to me this will be further impetus for integrated home entertainment systems.
My current setup is a DVD set up with a projector (under $1000) and a pulldown screen where sound goes through our stereo system. We can connect a TV antenna to the system and see broadcast stations on the big screen, too. Cable could be hooked in as well. Compare this to an HDTV, especially because with digital inputs our system will be able to hook into internet and get movie downloads if decide that Netflix isn't working for us.
With that setup, we will be ready to get our TV the way we want it, when we want it, by searching internet using Google or Yahoo. The economic model isn't there, but the pesky disruptive technology clearly is.
