Now, if they'd let me download and burn... Devil

Good point aske. Bandwidth is another huge hurdle and they will try to beat it through compression/downres which won't appeal at all to the targeted early adopters.

IIRC (sorry, I'm a bit occupied mentally on real work to actually recrank it or let alone even think about it) but it would take about a sustained 3Mb/s (Mb, not MB) running 24hours to get about a 30GB file downloaded. to stream it in real time would take an initial burst of 20-30x that and a sustained pipe of about 10-15x that . imagine everyone and their neighbors DL'ing 2-3 movies a week to watch even.
Shocked

So they'll go SD only such as ITMS supports (actually, only "near-DVD" quality at 640x480). Apple is currently charging $12.99 for new releases which, on the surface, is cheaper than a hard copy. But at a couple of GB each (am I right on this ITMS movie buyers???) people will soon have to buy drives to support this purchasing paradigm.

HD crowd won't even blink at it.

But five years is a long time aske. I think it's possible/likely.
