Is for the studios to resell their catalog titles. They don't need HD to sell blockbusters, those sell fine as DVDs on their own. However, getting us to buy catalog titles again, is almost like free money to them. Many have already been remastered in HD, either for the newest DVD release or for HD broadcasting.
The paradox is that catalog titles aren't selling well in HD, at least in part due to the limited demographics of a game console.
