We are big fans of "Black Mirror". Some of the stuff depicted in that show is super freaky and when you stop to think about it the things are all somewhat in the realm of possibilities. You don't have to let your imagination wander for to see these things happening. I remember the episode you speak about and I don't know where I would stand with the idea of eternal existence. I suppose if it keeps you with the people you love but at what point do you let go? And how much control would you really have?

Yeah, you nailed it. The freaky part is that they are all possible some day. Like that episode where people rate each other. That is actually being planned in China albeit not in the same severe form, but it can certainly evolve to be someday.
About the consciousness uploading thing, I would personally like to try it if given the option. And since they mention that they can choose to erase the consciousness from the system, I would enjoy the virtual world for as long as I felt I was enjoying myself and then one day, maybe out of sheer boredom, I would essentially terminate myself! haha
