They are talking about it "instantly" being available on "day & date" of DVD release.  So I assume they are saying you go to your box or tv and turn it on and the movie instantly starts playing the day you could take your lazy ass to the store and buy it (for $20+ dollars).  That doesn't seem too bad especially if you go to Blockbuster and it's usually checked out.  I might pay $9 if it was something I wanted to see.  But after day & date, I would expect the price to drop.<br><br>Oh, also wouldn't do it unless HD.  So HD, instant streaming/download and day of release, $9 seems ok.  After day of release, price should be lower.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 10:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on "Study" finds zany crowd willing to pay $9 for earlier release HD VOD films]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/16/study-finds-zany-crowd-willing-to-pay-9-for-earlier-release-h/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/16/study-finds-zany-crowd-willing-to-pay-9-for-earlier-release-h/</guid><description><![CDATA[If I can watch a movie from home that's still in theaters I would glady play $20.

That's $6. Granted the quality of these "HD" movies is sub-par in comparison to a BD. And I still think $6 is too much for a rental. $5 and I would start using my 360 to download/rent HD movies. And the library needs to get larger (which is has been).<br><br>Alternatively, I would love to see a flat-rate XBox/Netflix type of arrangement. I would glad pay a reasonable monthly fee for unlimited HD downloads through my 360. <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cossa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 9:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on "Study" finds zany crowd willing to pay $9 for earlier release HD VOD films]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/16/study-finds-zany-crowd-willing-to-pay-9-for-earlier-release-h/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/16/study-finds-zany-crowd-willing-to-pay-9-for-earlier-release-h/</guid><description><![CDATA[They didn't ask me.
