  To play things I have stored digitally it's just a matter of using the remote to access thousands of movies/tv shows stored on my network How long did it take you to set all that up? Do you think a less technically inclined person is going to be able to set up something like that? Also, were all these thousands of movies and TV shows acquired legally? If not, it's hardly a solution for the average law-abiding person. If so... wow, that sounds really expensive!

    It depends on where you live. Some people can pay a few bucks a month for netflix and put an AppleTV in every room giving them access to a tremendous amount of content without having to deal with physical media. You mostly only pay for what you use and the clients (AppleTV's or other media players) are rarely much over $100 each. Storage is incredibly cheap for the things you have yourself. It's much like the movie Gran Torino where Walt has a garage filled with tools. He aquired them over time. That is the way I have aquired media that now resides on my server.
