Picture this; your home PC's no long have disk drives. In fact, any device in your house that has a need for data storage (like your VCR/DVD/CD/Game console/Toaster, etc...) has no local storage.
They all connect to this mammoth central storage unit stuck in a closet or down in your basement using either a wireless device or some sort of networking that is built into every home.
You get on the 'net using your PC console and order a video/cd/game and it miracously shows up on your home storage device ready for use by whatever device is best suited to using it (i.e. use your stereo to listen to music, not your computer and use your game console to play games, not your computer). You use this "product" as if you own (maybe rent it?).
The point being you will need massive storage to pull this off - and I do believe this scenario will play out.
