$20 for a "near DVD" ?

No Thanks. I rather hunt through Wal-Mart's 2 for $10 DVD Box that they have in front of their electronics department than pay $20 bucks (plus my Internet connection!) to watch a "near DVD" quality video that doesn't even play in a traditional DVD Player.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Damn, I just pulled a muscle! The worst part of all this is that there will actually be some people that download these. Kind of scarey, really

LOL Walmart.

Even if it was HD quality I wouldn't grab it.

Same here. I beefed up my collection quite a bit thanks to that bargain box.

you pay $10? I only grab the $5 or $7 "special release" editions of bad 80's action flicks. Arnie, Chuck Norris, Jean Claude, Dolph Lundgren all have a special place on my dvd rack, namely the "oh my god these are covered in dust and I forgot I had these" section. Its great to see all those horrible movies with the awful plots, worse acting and terrible one liners.

But seriously, who would want to pay the same cost as the regular DVD and get less?

Way too much money for the functionality. Get the actual DVD from Amazon.com or elsewhere and it will be at your house in 2 days. Only those people who need "instant gratification" for their every whim will use the download from WalMart or another web site.

How instant can it be, if you have to download it...?

I just don't see a market for this, unless it was priced at about $5...

Instant gratification? Hell, I can go to my TV with Comcast ONDEMAND and order many movies either for free, or from 2-4 bucks. If i want HD quality, I usually drop 6 bucks.

Thats what I am talking about. Netflix and Walmart will not last in this department. "Ok, family, lets huddle around my pc and watch this movie that I downloaded, even though I just bought a 61 in HDTV." phuck that
