Re: Why Not
You make some good points, but I still don't think netflix is going anywhere too soon. With the 3 out at a time plan you're going to get 3 x 4 movies a month minimum if you turn them over within a couple of days. If we round up to $20 for that level of service (I think it's $18 and change now) that's still much cheaper than PPV, and you get the extras on the disk and you can watch it more than once and you can loan it to your roommate and you can make ...
Anyway, another factor is the system behind the rentals if you're really into movies - the ratings and reviews and movies based on your ratings, ect.
One thing in PPV's favor, though I'm not sure how much it may equate to sales, is people that have had netflix or BB for awhile and have developed movie fatigue. They see that monthly netflix charge as a way to offset the $100+ they pay the cable co and drop netflix because they're tiring of that many movies anyway and use PPV as a justification to do it.
