The PS3 video store is off to a great start and im very impressed with the library considering its only been out a few weeks, but how come you can only purchase movies in Standard Def, it kind of contradicts the whole PS3 being the ultimate High def machine argument when you simply cant buy movies in High def.  I mean I could understand if it would be because it takes up a lot of space but whats the difference between renting or buying a HD movie.

I don't have an HDTV, so i never really thought about it....
Regardless, do you really want such large files staying cluttered on your HDD?

I have been wanting to upgrade for a while, but I can't find any good prices... :(
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

Blu-ray movies will be going down in price too.  Warners is going to be lowering their prices this fall.  Some as low as 11 bucks.  Glad I didn't get "I Am Legend" yet.   Downloading an HD movie would be a huge file.  Probably'd take a while too.

There's very few movies that I care enough about to buy in download form.

What they need more (some?) of is HD Television Shows for download.

Since I have a 500GB HDD I am going to be DLing a LOT of stuff. Not renting, buying. Mostly shows but a lot of movies as well.

They have a great lineup and it just launched, can't wait for more.

The service is in its early pace, so just hold on a bit.
