- Effectively, studios would be giving you the option to watch Clash of the Titans, Date Night, How to Train Your Dragon and The Back-Up Plan. - David May 24, 13:15 15
  - Or rather, pay $30 to watch it at home instead of $10 X 4 tickets and popcorn and drinks... - JaxSean May 24, 13:17 8
    - (plus whatever monthly fee you have to pay to have cable or whatever) -- nm - Dano May 24, 13:31 2
      - Yeah, but I already pay that. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 13:32 1
        
        Even The Human Centipede wasn't enough to get me to get cable so I could watch it On Demand. -- nm - Dano May 24, 13:36
    - Especially if it i smore like $20. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:23
    - ...and not on the big screen. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:20 3
      - With flat screen quality these days, that's not much of an issue. - David May 24, 13:22 1
        
        Plus, I can pause. I just read the article...I didn't realize it was a 30-day window. - JaxSean May 24, 13:30
      - I'll trade my 52" at 15' for where I normally sit in the theatre and not lose much. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 13:21
  - $20 vs $30 really does make a dif. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:16 1
    - Agreed. -- nm - David May 24, 13:19
  - These must be the same people who bitch about Netflix getting movies 28 days late... - oblique May 24, 13:16 3
    - If I can't care enough to spend $ 5 or $ 7 when it comes out - I most certainly won't pay $ 20 or $ 30 a few months after - Epiphany May 24, 13:22
    - *raises hand* I live with someone who cares. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 13:18 1
      - (I too care.) -- nm - David May 24, 13:19
- Not really. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:15
