Re:CinemaNow's hard to beat. (Score 1)

Are they joking??? I just checked out CinemaNow, and PPV rentals are $4 and 'download to own' sets you back $15. My local Mom-and-pop video store can beat that rental price by almost a factor of 2, and many stores (Target/BestBuy/CircuitCity/etc) sell DVDs for $15 or less. Of course, the movies on CinemaNow are a bit obscure (which is a plus) but I would think that they would at least need to be competitive with local outlets (not to mention Netflix). How many people far from a metropolitain area have high speed internet access anyways?
