NOT.

that list seems to change actually

 

[Pathogen03]

I am actually VERY interested in this..


In theory it lets you download to three computers at once.. Could i go in on it with two friends and we each use one of those for unlimited downloads?

gogo $3.33 a month!

Is netflix still working with Tivo on a similar project?

Buy Liberty Media (L). Short Netflix (NFLX).

dammnit....all the ones I want to see say standard isntead od widescreen

I couldn't imagine watching the stuff downloaded from the net high enough quality to watch on a 50" plasma tv... unless they did something neat like how I can download hour long shows in HDTV and have them look great...

As far as portability goes,here are your options , and holy CARP are they expensive.

That rich guy, wahtever his name is, who owns the Dallas Mavericks is already doing that, but with satelite. One movie, premiered, in HDTV, mind you, at the same time as in theaters

there are a lot of big players in this field, dont get to enamoured with a service that only has one content source...

stay tuned, big news coming

 

[Pathogen03]

Who else is making download-oriented ones?

I meant to get in on netflix a while back, but never got around to it, download-oriented means I cannot pretend to be too lazy

 

[Goosemaster]

anyone sign up and figure out how much the PPV movies are?

 

[mflacy]

This is probably worth the fee for the first month to catch up on movies you missed. I see 5 or 6 that I'd like to pay next to nothing for. After that, I really don't see enough to sustain it. The movie choices really aren't that great and the PPV options suck; a little over 50 movies that have been on DVD for quite a while.

I can't weight...itunes already has Disney so maybe some disney movies for $7?

 

[juancferrer]

anyone actually trying this thing?

 

[Pathogen03]

I opened a free account to skim their movies,

they dont have that many titles, only about 1000, compared to netflix touting 55,000!

I am searching for random movies to compare the two, and Vongo's choices are severely lacking.

Pay Per Views are $3.99 and they have about 55 of them. Cool perk though, whnever you click on a movie, it shows its trailer, so ive just been watching trailers for a while

[Pathogen03]
