  Hi-def content

  I'm one of those folks who spent a buncha bucks on a home theatre system a couple of years back.
  
  Not to rain on these guys parade, but their damned DRM has already obsoleted my two year old $2400 TV. Now they can take their high-priced hi-def and their delusional DRM schemes and shove them, well... you get the picture.
  
  And I'm STILL boycotting Sony. They can forget about me buying into blu-ray as well, because I HAVEN'T forgotten their root-kits.

    Re: $10 Movie Ticket

    anywhere if u go by yourself and don't buy anything. movie tickets in my neck of the woods are only 7-8 bucks, of course when you add in significan othher, popcorn, candy, drinks and parking it brings the total up to about 50. back to the topic at hand I actually really like this idea. Only because I pirare everything and this get allow me to get copies of movies so much faster. I hate bootlegs where you can see the audience, camera is shakey, and the worst I have seen is the guy filiming has a bad cough adn regularly bumps the camera. Anyways I say do it and help out all the pirates, AAARRRRRR, where's me bootleg copy of X-Men 3!?!

  No Subject Given

  Say hello to pirated better-than-DVD-quality movies EVEN BEFORE the DVD comes out!

  No Subject Given

  At 60 days post release I don't think this will do it. At that time I would much rather watch some other movie that just came out on DVD that I missed or on video-on-demnd for $5 rather than throw down that cash. If it was simulatenously released with the theater version or at least a lot closer, maybe it would be tempting with a couple friends around.

  Netflix still wins...

  If you're willing to wait a few months after the theatre release, you can get the DVD from Netflix for only $18 a month. I see an average of 21~22 movies every month for my $18...it's the best deal out there.

  Anything to make an extra buck

  They put a new meaning to the word greed.

  sooo...

  they want to charge me more in my own living room? where they have no overhead costs? and where i could see thousands of other movies for less.
  
  im kinda thinking this will fly for a small number of families and the wealthy but not for the singles and couples.
  
  but i guess its something new they should try ... ya just don't know until you try.

  HDTV does look better

  I know its ridiculous and the movie companies just want more money for their shitty movies that no one goes to see anymore, but a good HDTV feed beats a good DVD encode any day of the week. Check out this link to see for yourself:
