The question is whether the studios will view it as an experiment to learn from or just a way to say they put movies online and it was a failure. I still think they should make it cheaper. They are going to lose money. They may as well lose money while introducing the concept of watching films online to a slightly bigger audience. 1994@blogcritics.org Tue, 12 Nov 2002 16:46:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/11/143035.php#comment-1993 Steve, I agree that this isn't all that happening yet, but when the price goes down and the quality goes up it could be. It's a start. 1993@blogcritics.org Tue, 12 Nov 2002 09:24:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/11/143035.php#comment-1992 The DVDs below your item show why that service probably won't do well. Why spend $5 for a not great quality movie for 24 hours when you can rent a DVD for less or buy Sleepless in Seattle for $12. It might do better if you could watch the films for 5 days and it was a buck for older films and $2 newer films though even then the quality still wouldn't be as good as DVD or cable. 1992@blogcritics.org Tue, 12 Nov 2002 04:47:10 EST
