Re: +R OR -R downloads still have to beat the price and ease of access of going to walmart or circuit city for the DVD itself.
funny thing is the people who would most be able to take advantage of downloading and burning films are the least likely to have broadband. those in rural areas who dont live 5 minutes from a big box store where new releases are 15 bucks.

| Not to mention vongo which is $10 a month for unlimited movies. |

| Why mess with downloads when there is Netflix. I pay under $20.00 a month and I can average 6 movies a week. I don't have to worry about the MPAA suing me or my ISP hassling me over too much bandwidth usage. Not to mention it is way cheaper then going down to my local rental store. Also since they send you dvd's there is no quality issue unless you get a badly scratch dvd which can happen occasionally. |

1 edit | I've never been hassled by an ISP, quite a strange notion.
But in the end, this is like unlimited pay per view for the price of one dvd a month. If you want dvd rips, there is absolutely no need to pay for them. My local library has a bigger selection of dvds than blockbuster and all the newest ones within a month of them coming out. A person can rent 5 movies every day for free. In one week between me and my friend that was over 80 movies. Much better than netflix. If your gonna pay, an unlimited instant service is what you should expect.
Not to make you cry, but you wouldn't see 80 dvds for over a year. |
