Because, although watching movies on a computer is relatively new and consumers find it "interesting", ultimately they will grow tired of watching it on computer screens and go back to watching DVD's on televisions. Watching movies on a computer is NOT a market that is going to last. It only looks attractive right now because its new and fresh. Anyway, that's just my .02!

I think he was talking about replacing rentals. I remember you talking about watching movies on your computer and maybe this has replaced rentals for you, but of all my coworkers (approx 40 people), my immediate family (35 people) and my friends (approx 25 people) none have downloaded and watched a movie on their computer.

So I still believe in rentals. I just don't see large numbers of people watching movies on their computers. The only way I see it taking off is when your computer is hooked up to your TV. I believe it will be a while for everyone to transition to this setup.

It's simple, if DVD players are still selling, then so too are DVD's. Not only are they still selling, but those who cannot afford broadband, an lcd screen. or a decent computer, will purchase a DVD player. As we all know they are dirt cheap if not free in many cases, ie-giveaway's. You think the new Bluray or hddvd will be taken out by downloadable movies.

So Xan have you given up hope on GZFX?

It sounds like the DVD rental company is dead to you.
