I am not worried about this at all. I say let the gap, eddie bauer,wal mart,sears, etc waste millions of dollars on this crap. Let them try to decode their consumers behavior. About 10 years from now- when all these companies have 200TB of crap- let them explain to their investors how good RFID is for marketing.
What I have been thinking of is using one of the higher end mini-itx motherboards as a kina of dumb terminal for these types of systems. The noisy computer with its gigantic harddrives sits in the closet while the mini-itx just controls it from the living room (and plays all the media). I don't know whay it wouldn't be possible. I'd be willing to guess that the first person that can do it for under 1,500 dollars will become a ten thousandare. Also it would be nice to be able to rip your dvd's into the storage computer....
