It's called the Killer App--Ie., the one "normal" exclusive you buy it
for that you weren't really thinking of buying the "techie" thing
without if it didn't have it, and it if it's not Disney movies, it sure
as hell wasn't "Talladega Nights".
(It would have been "Wow, you can play it with a video game!" like it
was for DVD, but that playing field turned out to be too even.)

For HD, the Killer App was "Batman Begins", and well, looks like they're
about to lose their exclusive on that.
Oh, well--There's still always "King Kong" to singlehandedly rescue an
entire industry.
