Re: $30 for PPV? Sure Hollywood.

This sounds just like in the early DVD days when there was the DVD Standard and the DIVX (not the media player) format. The DIVX format was cheaper up front, but then you had to pay each time you played the disc, or a large charge to get unlimited plays. Disney was all for this format because they could rake in the $$$ from the kids that wanted to watch a movie 1,000,000,000,000,000 times.

With DIVX you could pay for each viewing or purchase the disc outright for unlimited views. It required special DVD players to play the discs and they were only available from Circuit City, IIRC. Both DIVX and CC (retail stores, that is) are no longer around so it must have been a great success. ::) Greed is not always good.
