Coming soon

Soulja boy Sidekick Special Edition with Permanent Ring tone set to "Crank Day Soulja Boy"

Other Special Edition action sounds such as

"YOOUUUUUUU Got an new Email"
"Yahhh TEXT Yahhhhh "
"Crank Dat Missed Phone Call "

All for the low low price of FAIL.99
I believe this was an option on the 1330 before as well. I priced out an m1330 before I got the m1530 and I remember seeing the blue ray option on both.
Actually I don't work for any company's PR so don't assume that. Whether its physical media or digital download to me DRM is DRM no matter what is comes to it. I would rather cut the middle man out pay less for the content then crack it myself for backing up. Its $25-$30 for a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD out of a brick and mortar store if digital downloading knocks it down to $10-$15 and the same DRM cracks are out there to burn your own. Why spend more. (I know DVDs come with some nice packaging sometimes but most of the time its not.)
Sorry war* not was*
By the time someone wins this was Digital Downloading will be the top thing to do. No disc to worry about. Just download and/or stream and play.

Digital Download FTW!!

Many many Moons ago Verizon. They would like you go up and down withing the period of plan offerings that you selected your plan in. So they are basically going back to what they were doing before. Nothing new here.
The middle man also includes shipping companies and retailers.
I believe the reason Microsoft doesn't include the Xbox 360 with a HD-DVD drive built in is due to their bigger support of the digital distribution model. They just claimed Disney which has the one of the biggest if not the biggest movie libraries in the world and all that content is available to download directly to your 360 right now. There is no going to a store and having to pick anything up. Its right there ready to go as soon as you click the button to download. This model gives more profits to the movie studios and Microsoft since they are cutting out the middle man in the DVD manufacturer.

So why add production cost which will result in a price hike to your console when your business focus is not really geared towards making media for the drive anyways.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
