It's always interesting to see what people are watching. And with the popularity of online sales and movie downloads, it's easier than ever to track that.

Released late last year, and recently lowered in price from $399 to $295 for the hardware, the Vudu download service and set-top box offers over 5,000 titles, each available for immediate viewing (immediate, as in no delays in playback).
