I'm hoping for a price drop on the movies. 320 MSP translates to a bit over $5 CDN, which is a tad expensive for a 24-hour movie rental, no?
It's also the same price to buy a TV episode. That I consider to be a much more worthwhile price - since I can reacquire and rewatch that as many times as I'd like. At the same time though, it's hard to convince me to do that when, at $5 a pop, a 20-episode season will cost me a full $100.
I can go to my local Best Buy and pick up the DVD sets when they come out for $40-60, depending on show. And I get the advantage of not waiting for it to download.
IMHO, the movies need to come down to 160-200 MSP each... then I'd buy into it.

The movie rentals are 14 day rentals, not 24 hour.
