Isn't it funny that when a company puts together a model the public likes other businesses find a way to make it less desirable

You have your choice between SD, 720p and 1080p. Each at a different cost level.

*edit* DaFace has this covered.

What kind of connection do you have? Are you streaming it to your laptop and then into your TV?

Personally, I really miss Blockbuster. I liked the idea of being able to peruse movies in person. Guess I'm old school. Haven't ever used the box things, I generally just wait for stuff to hit Starz or HBO. Sometimes I'll use DTV PPV. I certainly miss more movies than I used to, but seeing as how most everything released nowadays is a ****ing pale remake of something I've already seen, it doesn't really matter all that much.

PS3 will work.

Yea, I kind of miss that too. But what I don't miss is having to return movies and late fees. With instant streaming I'm paying the same price for a new release at Blockbuster, and never have to leave my house or worry about it being out of stock.

Yep.

I don't quite get why they can't rent new release like PPV, etc.

App on the blue ray player. Another thing I like about VUDU is you can watch the previews before renting.

I stream from amazon on demand or occasionally on demand from cable for stuff like IFC In Theaters On Demand where you can watch at home the same day it goes into theaters. I wish I knew whether a theater ticket or an opening day rental made the film maker more money. It's about the same cost to me.

I started to feel sorry for Blockbuster a bit and then I remembered the nice folks who owned the National Video franchise in Brookside and how Blockbuster moved in and crushed them along with all 600 National Video stores in like one year flat.

I've got a dedicated computer hooked up to a TV that I used at first, but our new HDTV now has it built in, so we use that most of the time. It's built into a ton of different devices these days - kind of like Netflix.

Did they buy them out or just force them out of business?

Do any of you still actually buy, as opposed to rent, movies? If so do you buy them digitally or are you still kickin' it old school with hard copy?

I prefer to buy a hard copy when I do buy. I got screwed over by CinemaNow on a online purchase when they pulled the copy off the servers due to the movie studios telling them to. They gave me credit for a new movie but I wanted that movie.

Not ready to take the plunge to non hard copy because of that.

when I do rent though, it is almost always Redbox. Someday hopefully the online market will lower their prices to the redbox level.
