Secondly, those with broadband already have easy sources for movies currently in theaters or just released on DVD. Kazaa, Gnutella, Hotline, FTP, IRC, etc...
Well, my parents have broadband and I really don't think they want to download and figure out a P2P program. Not to mention figure out which obscure codecs they need to download to watch what they somehow managed to download. Those that have broadband are not all even average computer users. There are grandparents, parents, PHBs, etc.
Also, what if I want to watch Kubrick's The Killing or Kurosawa's Yojimbo or something even more "obscure". Something tells me that your average Gnutella user that is real happy with insert latest lame hollywood blockbuster here is not going to have it.

SimCity 4 [ea.com], delayed 'till January. "It's in 3D, trust us", except you can't swivel the camera
I believe the delay of SimCity 4 was purely business related. I think EA wanted The Sims Online to be their big holiday game.
