    PVOD is such a stupid rip-off. It’s basically just making sure the good quality pirated version gets out before the movie is available for a reasonable renting price.

      PVOD is pretty good, actually, IMHO better than streaming. Renting isn’t perfect, but I’d rather pay $5 to watch something one night than subscribe to something for $12/mo so I can watch the same thing with ads.

      $25 ain’t bad if it’s an indefinite rental, but paying so much for 48 hour access is insane! It’s not like you’re getting a premium experience in a theater or something, in which case I get it.

        I disagree. Paying $25 for a family of 4 and having the added bonus of not putting up with theater bullshit (e.g. ridiculous candy prices and asshole people) seems like a damn good deal.

          Nobody’s making you buy candy. And people at the theaters actually aren’t that bad.

          If PVOD rentals were still in theaters you’d have a point, and that applies for the movies mentioned in the articles. But most movies on PVOD are out of the theaters.
