Renting movies online...

Should be cheaper than walking across the street and using Red Box for one dollar a day. You can get a Netflix membership dirt cheap and they will cover the cost of shipping you nonstop DVDs (the postage costs far more than the bandwidth.)

Amazon wants five dollars to rent a movie. Zune wants about four dollars to rent a movie. Not sure what the iPod store wants but I would imagine it's very similar. Local cable VOD wants $3-5 as well.

In short, it should not be cheaper to purchase from a physical distribution system than a digital distribution system.
