I've had Apple overnight a HD on one occasion and on another occasion, a keyboard (coffee spill disaster). They didn't even ask for the damaged items back. All under warranty, free of charge. Apple support is O.K. in my book.
Maybe the reason Halo is not available for the PC is because Microsoft is willing to pay the developers an insane amount of money to keep is exclusive to the Xbox. This is certianly not the case with every title.
Of course you can burn files to a DVD, but can you mix audio tracks in 5.1 surround sound and encode those tracks with your DVD burning software? I thought not. This is for people who need to make a test mix of Dolby 5.1 surround audio in a way that is cheaper than a multi-thousand dollar DVD mastering system.

According to the article, you don't need a DVD burner, the AC-3 audio is on a CD-RW disc that can be played in most consumer DVD players.
The expensive part was the software AC-3 encoder at somewhere under a thousand dollars.
