I like the whole processof waiting for it to turn up at the cinema, watching it on the big screen, then possibly buying it for far less than $20 if its worth buying.
Why see a film on a monitor when you can see it on a cinema screen.Its so much better!!!
I think it will be a novelty at first then die down, its not like downloading music which is easier to use coz your listening to it, not having to find time to sit down and watch a film.
I don't want my computer to be like a TV. So, no, I don't expect to buy these movies.
I takes time to download a movie but if you have something else to do during that time, it won't seem long, especially if you are going to be on the computer for an hour or so. I'm going to have a lot of guests for the first time I show "Brokeback Mountain" and "King Kong" which is the closest to a theater experience one can get. In either case, I've bought a case of Kleenex.
It's only a matter of time before some bright kid comes up with a hack that lets you burn these to disc.
wow is it really that expensive? 20-30 dollars? I am sure that eventually the price will go down and then I would...
Yes, that's way too much if one isn't allowed to make at least one copy. I can copy off of cable onto my DMR and burn discs and have done it. It's a matter of whether one is concerned about waiting a couple of months for movies to show up on cable Pay-Per-View (about $4.00) and then on HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc.
I buy new release DVDs for $14.95 and can watch them when and where I want to. There iss't any way I'm going to pay $20+ to go through the hassle of downloading it and then being forced to watch it on my PC.
"Crash," for instance, is now at $9.95 and will already be on Showtime next month.
