Just think: One a week of these download rentals, in a years time, would total $1,300.00. Let's see: How many Ruth's Criss visits could I enjoy by watching free TiVo-ed cable movies? Hi Guys,

Yet the more I thought about it I would use that service. Now not every movie that came out would I download, because even though you both disagreed I still like going to see some movies on the big screen such as "10,000 B.C." and back when they came out "The Patriot", "Gladiator", and "Troy" were great movies on the big screen because of the action and war scenes. Also while we are at it Stephen say everything has to be available in High Def. That is great in theory, but I have a HD TV and the networks are giving very little HD programing in to the home. So I have gotten used to watching my HD TV with what seems like amounts to 15% of available content in HD. So if I am going to download first run movies to watch on my tv give me a SD movie at say $10 to $15 a movie and I will be buying every week, otherwise I will just keep adding movies to my Netflix account.
