I want to comment on the whole vod instant gratification.... I know you guys dont understand why people would like vod. To me the big advantage of the instant services is you can decide to watch a movie that night and get a big listing of everything available and start watching it then and there. I watch on my terms not when netflix decides to deliver me an envelope (its happened a number of times to me where i want to watch a movie that night and all of my movies are on the way back to netflix... this is less of an issue with the 3+ plan but id suspect a vast majority of people do the 2 at a time or less plans which it is a potential issue.)
There is no need to watch commercials to find out about movies (really who watches commercials anymore these days), go to the theater, etc. You get a listing and you choose from it and it starts playing instantly... end of story.
