I'd pay top-dollar to rent a movie while it's still in theaters (especially in lieu of a low-quality, pirated option). If the rental price decreases as the film leaves theaters, they could still maintain a strong sense of the value of their product. It looks like it's working perfectly well in an ecosystem like Steam, where a new release sells a truckload at $60, then again at $30, then again at during a firesale at $5.

I have an AppleTV and would love to use it more. Sadly most movies arrive on the torrents months before apple adds them to their store. I just don't want to wait that long. To add insult to injury most downloads on AppleTV are more expensive than the BlueRay and are plagued with infuriating restrictions; no HD on the download-version, or no download version at all. Sometimes there's even no HD version at all...
