 But you're willing to drive to the store to pick up a rental disc or wait days for it to arrive in the mail?
And these "people" that don't have computers have one of the HD disc formats........
What if you placed your choices in your queue and it downloads to a hard drive ready for you to view when it's done? It would definitely be done before Snail Mail.
Then take into account that prioritizing data feeds and scheduling premium feed times could drop wait?
Think outside the box guys! You are surrounded by sources of bandwidth feed and you ignore them. |
I have high speed, and it's still way too slow, not only that, but it's shared, so if DL is to become the norm, it'll have to get ALOT faster to really take off, not only that, but there will be a need for much larger drives to handle all this data if it's the Cable Co(more bandwidth AND a much larger drive/new box isn't coming free), and if it's NOT the cable co, then of course you will have to BUY the hardware, and then you are still at the mercy of your providers speed.
It'll be awhile before the masses will have High Speed, because of cost, and availability.... last I checked, my internet service was like $50 a month, and alot of folks I know don't use cable because of that, some have cheap DSL because it's faster than dialup, but still affordable.
I don't do the netflix thing, I buy my discs.
I am very disappointed that BD looks to be the one to come out on top, my issue is cost... that also being the MAIN reason I backed HD DVD.
Lets just agree that we disagree, and leave it at that.
