I'm quite sane, I don't need to burn DVD's either, I just stream my favourite TV shows off of my PC over the network. I quit cable in 2001 and havent watched TV at all since. But I do download the odd show I like from the UK that aren't avaliable here. Like fifth gear etc.
US TV used to suck and have adverts every 7 minutes, the stuff you download is often better quality minus the adverts. The xbox makes for a real nice player and automaticly adjusts for widescreen, PAL and NTSC.
I do have a DVD player but I havent used it in years, too cheap to buy another component and optical SPdif cable to switch between them and Xbox has a lot more playback features than DVD players do if you use XBMC. not to mention streaming radio and video off of the internet, music and digital photo browsing. If xbox360 is anywhere near as flexible I'll be really surprised.
