Sorry, but there's no way in HELL I'll pay $3 per episode for LOST, or pretty much any other show! What a rip off. They shouldn't cost more then .99 cents each and in HD! Why is it that Digital Distribution seems to cost MORE then just buying the movie, or Renting it at Blockbuster where you get all the other content on the Movie Disc also. Instead they DRM infest the Movies and TV shows and charge crazy prices. No wonder people would rather just steal all this stuff.
You have people paying $2.99+ for a ring tones, and the Music Industry think they should be making even more money on ITUNES and charge more then the .99 cents a song. That to me is already a rip off also. If you make this stuff CHEAP, People will PAY FOR IT just for the simple fact that you know it's a real version and simple enough to get.
VHS movies come out and they're charging $80 for it. Few people buy it and instead just rent the movie. Prices drop down to $19.99 or cheaper and a huge amount of copies are sold and they end up making more money. Why are they still trying to figure this out??? You make it cheap and the masses will buy it. You sell it high and it'll either FAIL or be stolen and/or not sell well. You DRM infested it so it's almost not usable why buy it?
Blu-Ray is heavily DRM infested. I won't have anything to do with it. I can rip my DVD's and play them anywhere on anything. To me, that flexibility is far more valuable then the movie being in HD. HD DVD you had this flexibility also, best of both worlds, to bad the Sony Propaganda machine seems to have paid off this time. I can only hope that in the end it also goes bye, bye.
By the way, why spend $3 a episode of LOST, that's locked to the 360? You spent all the money on for all those episodes, $70 or whatever per season and you sell the console, or upgrade to the next Xbox, then what? Seems pretty DUMB when you can just buy it on DVD for cheaper without all the DRM junk and have the bonus content.
