Naturally "renting" a movie with a remote is far easier, but it's still
a trade-off. For one, they use fullscreen/pan & scan transfers of the
movies. I'm a widescreen or nothing sort of guy, so only the DVD will
suite my needs right now. The few crappy movies that do show up on there
are usually already a month or two old. I can go down to the local
Blockbuster and rent Crash right now or I can wait another month for it
to show up on pay-per-view. Which do you think is better? Also, if I
rent the DVD from Blockbuster, I get access to all the bonus features.
I'm sure "VOD" will improve in time, but for now I'll stick with renting
DVDs from the local video store... It's a better use of my money.

Heh. Anyone who thinks Netflix stands a chance in the long run is a
fool. Believe me, if a subscription business model to rent movies was
profitable, you would have seen video stores doing it 20 years ago.
