Got to agree on the pricing issue, started playing around with it last night, and the first thing that came to mind was that this could kill off the local video shop - sure they may get the films ahead of this service, but apart from really new releases evrything you would expect from your local Blockbuster or whatever is now available without heading out on a wet and windy night.

Now if the older films were more reasonably priced it'll be a killer app, otherwise it's going to be a hard sell for joe bloggs in his flat.
