    huge breakthrough with movie rentals just happened

    netflix is offering a way to download and watch movies from your pc, just saw a commercial for it


    this is the start of the extinction of brick and mortar movie stores, there is no real need for them anymore, this is much more efficent

          svideo cable + audio out on a laptop connected to my tv does just fine for me.

              I do not seeing it changing that much, people who are downloading it to their PC are already doing it for free.

              I cannot stand watching a movie on my comp, I KNOW I KNOW S-video output, not everyone has it and also movies will always be a collectors item.


              I do not see the conventional movie store being oblitorated.

                  Spuny...ever heard of a media center? you do know that signal you get from your cableco that goes on your large screen and your sound system is the same digital signal you get off od a DVD player right? yes even a HiDef one.

                  you can, in fact store it and burn it yourself....so is it so hard to think that XXX VOD via the net in full HD resolution without having to get up off yer ass isnt already here?

                  It isnt the begining of the end really more ilke the begining of the middle of the end...store revenues ar down 30% from last year.

                                  I've been watching the streaming versions of movies using Netflix on my 32" office LCD for a good 6 months or so. It looks damn good.

                                      i ripped my whole dvd library to my media comp and i stream movies through my 360. i never have to switch discs. so if i could download ... now that i think about it the xbox live already does this but the movie selection sucks. either way its a great idea.

                                          Used to manage a blockbuster in my home town, both my store and the closest one closed down.. Lots of movie galleries closing too. Next 5 years won't be a brick an mortar movie rental place in the states.

                                              I disagree... Netflix is getting their ass kicked by Blockbuster Total Access, so they had to come up with something so THEY don't become extinct!

                                                  i disagree, this is first the commercial release of a brand new huge concept. view any movie you want at the push of button from your home. why do we need brick and mortar stores anymore? this concept saves you the drive to the store, browsing for video, and the drive back

                                                      Some people shoplift a DVD from wal-mart others obtian it legally by paying for it.

                                                      I cannot stand watching a movie on my comp, I KNOW I KNOW S-video output, not everyone has it and also movies will always be a collectors item.
                                                      Even the most basic of video cards have s-video. Most of DVI which some TV have orif you TV has HDMI you can get a DVI to HDMI adapter.

                                                      People like me who rent don't "collect" moveies. We rent them and take them back to the store anyways.

                                                          Netflix had this idea planned before they even rented the first movie. It's obvious that this is the way of the future. As much as they like to tout that HD-DVD and/or blu-ray are the next great thing they are really only temporary. Within 20 years the whole concept of a "video store" where you leave your house to go rent a movie and have to return it will seem strange and old fashioned to those just being born today.

Would you pay $2 a movie to always get one that works and avoid viruses and stuff like that?

                                                                                                                  I did rent an HD movie off of my DVR once, and while it was decent, there were a few highly pixelated spots. Not bad though for a couple of bucks I suppose.

                                                                                                                                          Then why bother getting anything through the mail at all and just go to the store like you always could for the last 25 years?
