The move could be copied by other studios, forcing consumers to wait nearly a month if they want to rent popular movies from Netflix. ... The studio is hoping that the four-week window will push consumers interested in watching movies at home to buy the DVDs or pay a premium to rent them from stores like Blockbuster or from Internet and cable video-on-demand services. Warner Bros. already imposes a 28-day window on $1-a-night kiosk firm Redbox."</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>Amazing. Could it possibly be that a whole bunch of former customers will just forget they were ever interested? Are they going to move back the window for showing on on-demand and premium cable, too? When 95 percent of the product you produce is utter crap, each mostly indistinguishable from all the other pieces of crap, it sure makes sense to make yours harder to get.

Of course when the obvious an inevitable effects are felt it will all be the pirates' fault, or some woman videoing a theater party.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Here's my reasoning: by this move, WB implicitly admits that there are people who just wouldn't buy the product at full price (i.e. cinema ticket or DVD purchase). Those people will, at most, be willing to pay only a very cheap rental price, and that's why WB accepts to sell at a lower price after 28 day - better to make a small sell than nothing at all. Therefore when someone "pirates" a movie, the studio looses, at most, only the revenue from a rental, not the revenue from a full DVD sale. Q.E.D.

On a side note, when will a Netflix-like service be available in Europe? (I'm talking similar offering and similar pricing). The studios are so obtuse about their geographical licensing BS that they are blocking a pretty large market. They are loosing money on their own stupidity.</htmltext>

Typically, when you hear of a movie coming out that you want to see, you add it to the queue.  It's not out yet, but once it is sitting at the top of the queue ready once it becomes available.  Except that movie is in high demand, so it says "Long wait" next to it.  The second movie in the queue comes instead.  But you don't really care, because you still want to see that movie.  It's not like I'm a seven year old that has to see THAT one NOW!  It will come when it's ready.  In the mean time, I have a long list of movies that I have already said I want to see that will ship in its place until it is my turn.  At a certain point, you stop paying attention to what's next, and you just accept what arrives in the mail.  Any movie that I really really want to see, I would have already seen in the theaters.  Avatar was a good example.

The article mentions the same with the RedBoxes.  Both are far cheaper for the consumer than in-store rentals or on-demand from Cable/Satelite and they get the worst priority.  It's as if the studios resent those customers for finding a great bargain and want to take out their anger on them.

	<htmltext>So I had a choice of using Netflix or some other rental service and getting a movie around the date of availability.  Sure I had to wait for a movie to come to DVD, but that generally happens pretty quickly.  It wasn't a huge deal.  It feels good not to break copyright, and Netflix does compete well with free.
<p>
But now the rules have changed.  Today it is a 30 day delay.  Tomorrow it might 60 or 90.  If one is not willing to buy a DVD, one does not get the movie.  Purchase does not compete well with free.
</p><p>
Sure the studios have every right to do this, but it certainly opens holes for those who are not so dedicated to the copyright.  Some might buy a copy of move, rip it, and then resell it to recoup some of the money.  Or just give up on the whole trying to obey the law thing and just go back to downloading tapped copies the week before the film is released to theatres.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>It seems like it might work, considering how most people I know use Netflix. You hear of a movie, you queue it up, it eventually comes. Sometimes it comes sooner, sometimes later, depending on release dates, availability, whether you move things above it, etc. I'm guessing lots of people won't really notice this extra factor determining availability, especially since new releases on Netflix are already often delayed due to the not-enough-copies thing giving them a "long wait" status. If you queue up new movies when they're in theatres, and then forget about doing so, you might not even notice when it's released to DVD until it actually shows up in your mailbox.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext>I'm not one to argue this viewpoint usually, but I think it's kind of scary to imagine the near future  when any piece of media we want is so dirtcheap that it can't fund the people making it.  Or heck, even fund some of them fairly well.  We need incentives out there.  Sure it can create some crap media/art/whatever else, but it's pretty lame if everyone just takes everything for granted and thinks they should be able to just click and have full access, for extremely cheap, to what people put a hell of a lot of time into (and all the fixed costs over the years that have developed all the technologies for the amazing stuff we have now).<br> <br>

Sorry but I think the only people being greedy here are those that expect everything for free/near free.  <br> <br>

If we lived in a Star Trek world with so many resources/easy of manufacturing where no one had to worry about doing something to just "get by" comfortably*, then of course the drive would be purely intellectual/personal satisfaction, etc.  Yes that is ultra geeky/optimistic, but come on, this is slashdot (well, about the geekyness.. not so sure most of you are optimists).<br> <br>

I know that lots of people around here are probably keeping up on all the latest and greatest sources for pirated movies and TV shows, but for most people, it's simply too much of a hassle.

If they make it as more of a hassle to get the content legally as it is to get it illegally, and too expensive to boot, then they'll lose out on that revenue.

	<htmltext>Since they mentioned Redbox, I think the 28 day delay is just the time it takes to get a damn DVD out of it sucessfully lol.  My parents were sitting outside a Walgreens waiting for me to shop and they said every single person who went up to the DVD rental thingy took forever and then eventually left, looking pissed off and without a DVD in their hand<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:P  Which brings me to my point that they're not just saving the most profitable methods for immediate release but saving the second rate ways for later.  Just think, the crappier, cheaper theater near me is on like a 2 month delay.  Now it'll be where you can go pick up a personally owned, complete-in box, non-used copy immediately the same day or you could wait for shipping time to get it from Netflix.  Now they just tacked on 28 days on top of the delayed, used disc rental system.  So really if you REALLY want to see the movie and are REALLY excited or whatever, you REALLY have to spend more money to get it in a better format or with less effort etc.  If you kinda don't care and want to spend less, you wait.  I don't think there's anything too abnormal about that business model.  It's sort of the same as pricing on graphics cards falling over time.  If you're not THAT excited about the card, you wait the usual waiting period until it's cheaper.</htmltext>

I don't think there's anything too abnormal about that business model.
It's sort of the same as pricing on graphics cards falling over time.
If you're not THAT excited about the card, you wait the usual waiting period until it's cheaper.</sentencetext>

<sentencetext>When home VCR's were a new thing (early 80's) there was almost a "revolt" by theatres when Twentieth Century Fox first released a movie on video that was (gasp!
) less than 10 years old!
  Slightly later on, the theatre industry almost died when all of the movies that people had never been able to see before were available on video.
Before then, if you didn't see the film in the theatre when it was playing, you were pretty much out of luck.
Then all of a sudden, THOUSANDS of movies that you may have heard of but never before had the opportunity to watch were available to take home with you!
  It took a couple of years for that novelty to wear off and for people to decide to return to watching movies in theatres.
That was also when theatre ticket prices went up to their current levels; tickets used to be much more affordable than they are now.
  But there is a certain magical atmosphere at a theatre that you just can't reproduce in your living room and people expect and enjoy that, even if they don't consciously think of it in those terms.
  Plus, a theatre is a place to go on a date and/or a night out, something else that you can't get in your living room.
Most people aren't going to go on a first date with the new flame to sit in front of your living room television.
And teenagers won't want to bring a girl home to sit in the parental living room, even if the girl was willing to do that.

In fact, it's to the point right now that my "four at a time" plan hasn't resulted in actually having four movies out at a time in a month.

Netflix is having delivery problems, add on top of that gouging for Bluray "access" (with no promise of actually delivering any) and now release delays, I'm seeing their days numbered.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>It didn't work before, as mentioned elsewhere, with artificial scarcity in the VHS rental days. It won't work now either with the DVD days. Why?


<p>
NOTE: My wife and I have SEVEN full bookshelves of DVD &amp; Blu-Ray. We're movie nuts. We love to watch them. We love to go back and watch ones we particularly like. If they're good, we'll buy multiple editions we want--I've bought two copies of Iron Man, two full sets of Lord of the Rings, and lord knows how many Star Wars. I'll rebuy the latter two on Blu-Ray when they come out. I like to think we're the model of good customers. I don't bit torrent films because unlike some I like the way it looks on the shelf. The same as I like the way my books look on the shelf. Screw E-readers and stacks of ripped discs.

</p><p>
We also consume Netflix and Comcast OnDemand ravenously, and sometimes the Amazon download rental service or the local actual DVD rental store. Why?


</p><p>


I don't want to buy EVERY film I see. Some I'm fine with only seeing the once. I don't know if I'll like it. We only go to 10-15 films a year maximum in theaters (probably a lot compared to most). It's one of our main hobbies. Do I buy every film I see in theater on disc? Of course not. Half of them I'll never want to see again because they're either not memorable, not important to me, or total shit. Do I buy films that I've rented? ABSOLUTELY! All of them? Absolutely not! I recently watched GI Joe on a flight. Then we downloaded it on Amazon on a lark. My wife loved it, and she hates that sort of film. Now I want to buy it on Blu-Ray--why? It's fun, and it's a fun film you can watch again and toss on with company over to show off the pretty HDTV and laugh about the heinous execution of our childhood memories of GI Joe. Most importantly, again:

</p><p>

It's rewatchable.

</p><p>

Put out consistently quality, engaging films. Aim for every film to be Oscar caliber in some way. That doesn't mean every film has to have an Avatar budget or 99\% of the Royal Shakespeare Company in the speaking cast. Pay for a good script. It doesn't have to be a great film--see my GI Joe example above. It's not a great film, but visually? Amazing, and rewatchable for sheer fun with people over. Pay for a good director. Pay for good lighting, decent CGI, good cinematograpy. Make films people will ****WANT**** to see more than once. You many music CDs I've bought in my life for one track that, after I played that track several times, I never listened to that CD ever, ever again? The same thing. Your trailer may be ace--but the film shit. Don't make shit films, and I'll be more likely to buy them. I'm sure the same goes for everyone else too.

</p><p>

Most importantly, don't piss on your devoted customers that pay your salaries. Rentals drive sales. Quality films drive sales. Crap product to simply have a release will never drive sales.

</p><p>
You ever notice how each week we get 3-5 new major film releases? You ever notice how 3-4 of them are substandard to the others? I think they're put out as loss leaders. You put out shit like that, and then complain that people don't all buy your annual release catalog on DVD? What did you expect would happen?

The Hangover) it sits in my queue with the words "Very Long Wait" for three months. So its not really an issue.  Who has Netflix for new releases?</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>But then theres the shipping time. Unless you want to pay extra for overnight or 2 day shipping. If you want free super saver shipping, you can wait 10 days or so. Netflix is 2 days. So its only 20 days difference.</p></htmltext>
