They REALLY don't get it.

Wow. Just... wow.

Narrowing the theatrical window, four Hollywood studios and DirecTV will launch a pricey premium VOD service at the end of April, followed swiftly by Comcast and VUDU. Consumers will be able to see a movie 60 days after its release in theaters. The movies will be available for 48 hours for $29.99.

Mere words cannot express how moronic this idea is. 1998 called, and they want their digital media plan back. The studios think that we will pay 3-4 times the price of a ticket in a movie theater, just to watch the movies we didn't go to when they where in theatrical release.

As Daedalus said to Icarus, "Good luck with that".
