One really cool thing xbmc has is a web interface. Instead of using a remote, I just open it up in Opera (or firefox or whatever) and click on what I want to watch instead of hitting the down button 20 times (or more).<br />And I have bluetooth on it, so I can hook up a wiimote with it and control it that way if I wanted.

While I know plenty of people who own various movies on DVD, I don't personally know very many people who buy TV shows on DVD, apple store, or similar options.
