- hitchhiker999 12y agoWell, if that goes - there's a few more that'll be next. If you know what you're doing, the convenience with which you can have a fully stocked and extremely up-to-date media experience is staggering. For around $10 a month you can have every tv show, every movie (released to blu) at your fingertips in 1080p consistently / daily. A player like XBMC is just the final amazing cherry on top. Truth is, unless the studios match this - it's going to be a long well-paced decline for them all.
- opless 12y agoThe thing is, there's Amazon and Netflix which covers most movies and shows in the US. Unfortunately it's JUST in the US. Netflix UK for example doesn't have Caprica. That was on Lovefilm ... then it's not Amazon prime now has it as Pay per view. I was watching StarTrek TNG on Netflix last week. Started at the start of Season Three. Suddenly it disappears from my "Resume watching list". A quick search of it later only Season Four and later is available. The Matrix, not on Netflix UK. I could go on. Studios need to stop thinking in terms of DVD sales, and regions and understand that the global market WILL NOT WAIT, and WILL NOT TOLERATE this behavior and look for other ways to watch movies/shows that they want to watch.
- hitchhiker999 12y agoYes, you're absolutely right. If I could send them 30 euros a month, instead of $10 to my usenet provider I would. I can't, so I don't. (I live way way way away, netflix is a distant dream here) Also: I tried netflix at one point (year ago or so, with some proxy thing) - It pales in comparison to a proper XBMC setup. I would still swap over, but it would be a step down.
