Through out your entire life this Hub will always be there for you, just need to verify your identity and have access to any and all of your previous purchases.
This is what apple are seeking to do with iCloud and iTunes, I think. It will probably work well where they have what you want and are prepared to pay their price. My hope is that competition forces more openness (because people shop with the more open supplier), so that we can get our purchases from more than one place while viewing them all together - but I'm not holding my breath.
