Well that leaves me and a lot of people out, a 400-600 meg download to have for 24 hours?!?! I like the idea of slot that you fill with rentals, that way if I have to let the system download the movie overnight I can watch it the next day, oh if your busy the next day, wait a day or two without paying for the farm. Making it a virtual netflix with a share to the studios, but why should I pay for my bandwidth the headaches to get a huge download then turn around and pay ubber premium for rental. I can go down to the corner and go to a redbox vending machine and get a movie for 1.00 a night at the local convience store. Or just put it on next flix and have it in 24 hours, 48 if you count the time for me to send back the current one.
