Promising a way for you to 'Listen to your music collection while you play games', beta signups (of a kind) are open now."

    Not everyone wants to maintain a library of their own MP3 files.

    As much as I like the idea of owning things, services get more and more attractive to me every day in terms of convenience and cross-platform usability.

    I ripped my massive DVD collection to a convenient set of well organized files a few years back, but that doesn't mean that Netflix doesn't make more sense to me more often than not.

    I would. Instead of buying a $15 DVD, I'll pay $4 and watch it once. If it's good enough, I might watch it 2 or maybe 3 times, but odds are, I'm coming out ahead.

    They better try to lose some bloatware from their Steam Client. On my Mac mini, it's faster to start fucking Photoshop CS6 then to start Steam.
