This is going to fail so bad. I can only hope (!) consumers are smart enough not to buy a $200 box that has the sole purpose of allowing you to rent movies at a "video store" that only has 100 movies to choose from with 10 of them being cycled out each week.

I am quite stunned that this idea even made it this far. Are there really people that think this has ANY chance of succeeding?

It's too bad MovieBeam is not publicly listed. I'd short their stock.

Hopefully someone will figure out a good use for all those dead MovieBeam boxes next year when the service is discontinued.
