Techcrunch ? Blog Archive ? Movie Downloads: iTunes v. The Rest” TechCrunch has a nice post out comparing all of the various movie download services. Guba, iTunes, Movielink, CinemaNow and Amazon.
What do they all seem to have in common? They are all (except Guba) super expensive and I just don’t get why people want to pay such high prices for such low quality content. Me personally? I’d rather just tell my HDTV TiVo to record something from HBO or somewhere in high def for viewing at home and I’d rather just record something on my Media Center PC and transfer it to my laptop if I want low res crap.
Until any of these services can come up with HDTV quality and reasonable prices they are not for me.
I don’t see these services replacing Netflix or BitTorrent anytime soon.
