And even those DVD fans who do aren't particularly being wooed by "Guess
what, folks...You can fast-forward AND rewind!--Isn't that NEAT? :-D "

As most home-theater-fans see it, if all you want is the movie--without
the bonus content, the better hard-disk quality, or the "control" of
having the movie in your hand or on your shelf, even if it did take a
pesky day or two by mail-rental--you DESERVE to watch VOD.
