| Renting is better than VOD I'd rather rent a movie via Blockbuster or Netflix than get it with VOD. For example, Comcast is charging $4.99 per movie. You only get to watch it within a 24 hour period. I could pay less and get the movie from Blockbuster and keep it for a friggin week if I wanted to.
Paying $4.99 plus tax for a movie with only a 24 hour window is too risky for me. Anything can happen where I don't get to the movie within that time frame. Sure HD VOD is nice, but now you can rent BluRay and HD-DVD's. |

You only select the movie (from on demand) when you are on the couch about to watch it. Its not like you wake up, check the on demand listings and buy movies you "might" watch later that day. The whole idea is that you pay to watch the movie at the very instant you want it. Its also a lot more convenient (you dont need to return it!). I highly recommend VOD, I just wish they had a larger selection available at any given time.

| Well I'd hate to order it and then be called into work, or get an emergency phone call, or some visitors show up and we decide to put it off a bit.
If I'm paying the same or more in terms of dollars I should get similar or better value. I suggested to Comcast to keep it in the "Saved Programs" list for longer, such as 48 or 72 hours, to better compete against chains like Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. The CS manager loved my idea so much that I got 5 free VOD movie coupons in the mail. Used one this past weekend to watch Mr. Woodcock HD. Great movie. |
