kingofwale: You know not everybody wants to OWN every single movie. Hell, my parents usually rent ~3 movies, about every 2/3 weeks or so from Hollywood Video. They get to see all the new movies they want and if they really really like a movie then they might end up buying the dvd sometime, though they usually don't watch the movie again(unless it ends up on Satellite/cable)

 Of course I realize not everyone owns every single movie, but to go and compare rental service with owning a copy yourself? How is that ever comparable?

The fact they don't have the ability for the owner to keep the movie, is to me, an incomplete service. Yes, there will be people renting movies, but there will also be people who want to own them.

 

Frankly, two services are needed, that is why Apple is winning in Digital distribution war right now.
