There was no BluRay vs HD-DVD war. Microsoft's plan was always to go disc-less. I am one of the millions of people who downloads HD movies off XBox 360 instead of driving to the movie store.
This already happened to music and now it's happening to movies. Think about it, which do you prefer a DVD of your favorite band or their MP3s? ...Most people would rather have the MP3.
Who wants a disc? ...Old people? Maybe. PS3 fanboys? Yes. ...Everybody else? We'd rather simple download then snail-mail or drive to rent a movie.
