How many folks really need 24 hours to watch a movie, much less more. Probably not that many in the long run.



    That's just classic. One of the major complaints about online movie rentals is the short viewing window once you start playing it. Google manages to get that window doubled in length and now it's "nobody needs that much time anyhow." Classic, just classic...

    He states "I don't see this deal being really all that much better on the consumer front." His point is valid, yet I think it's overall slightly worse than iTS options. Sure, more hours to watch are better than fewer, but I don't see an option that I can rent it, hold onto it for a month, and then watch offline at my convenience. Since I'm not one to start and stop a movie over a couple days yet likely to want to plan ahead for a viewing and watch offline iTS seems like a better overall option. I guess if you're at work and can sneak a couple minutes here and there for a film YouTube might work out for you.
