would you pay $30 a month for....

[soulcougher73]

Yes

 

[GrumpyMan]

Yes I would, but Hollywood would want 90% of it in royalties.

 

[slayer202]

It depends, if it included it's own connection, and all the content was 1080p, I'd pay $150ish per month for it.

If it was good quality, but I had to use my internet connection to stream it, then I don't think $100 per month would be unreasonable for me ...

Hey now, this it ATOT.

I want every movie, every tv show, including every current release. I'll pay $5 a month. Throw in a couple of handjobs too otherwise no deal

 

[bearxor]

Everytime Netflix sends a survey, I say that I would pay a minimum of $30/mo to a max of $50/mo if they were to stream everything that comes out.

But I have a feeling what were going to get in the next few years of half a dozen different streaming services formed of a handful of studios and you'll have to subscribe to them individually for like 8-12 each.

 

[KeithTalent]

Well I pay way more than that now, so yes, of course as long as they were in full 1080p with 5.1 DTS.

You mean like Hulu, Amazon, Netflix and Blockbuster?

 

[HardcoreRobot]

yeah my biggest concern would be quality. i dont want to compromise just in order to stream it. i wouldnt even mind needing to DL in advance, just needs to be the 'best' quality available.

biggest advantage from your hypothesis would be volume. with no need to mail, can basically watch movies 24/7 if you wanted. but not a lot of people need that sort of volume. personally, i presently can only get around to 8-10 movies a month, which can be satisfied by a cheaper snail mail netflix sub.

i think there will always be this market segment that wont be attracted by plans like that

 

[DaveSimmons]

I'd $50 a month for access to every movie and TV show including current seasons, ad-free and in HD.

 

[ElFenix]

i don't care so much about how many p's of resolution there is, i care more about the compression type and MBps

 

[bearxor]

You mean like Hulu, Amazon, Netflix and Blockbuster?

Yes and no. I feel like Netflix's days are numbered. The studios are going to get wise. And they're going to say 'why are we asking for a piece of this pie when we can have the whole thing.'

They'll make their own streaming service, possibly with the cooperation of some smaller studios they're partners with, and,when the renewal comes up for their deals with Netflix or whatever, they'll make the terms very unreasonable so that Netflix (or whomever) will be unable to renew.

That's where I think we're headed. Right now is ideal. It's basically a 'One site delivers all' with regards to Netflix and Hulu (well, not really ALL, but...). We're going to probably be moving away from that within the next 10 years.

 

[D1gger]

Nope, I couldn't even justify $8/mth for Netflix after my 30 day free trial.

 

[djnsmith7]

If they were in full 1080p & looked great, I would. Otherwise, not a chance.

 

[Doppel]

Yes

 

[kranky]

No, we have like 500 cable channels. That's enough.

 

[mmntech]

It will happen eventually. Cable companies are going to have to shift content to on-demand if they want to compete with online services. Either that or bribe congress (again) to get rid of net neutrality.

 

[DaveSimmons]

No, we have like 500 cable channels. That's enough.

Why would you need $100/month cable if you had $50/month everything-on-demand?

 

[Rage187]

Blu ray quality, yes.

 

[RavenSEAL]

Depends on the content really. If we're talking about every new movie being online for streaming as soon as it comes out on DVD, yeah.

 

[SparkyJJO]

No.

 

[vi edit]

Why would you need $100/month cable if you had $50/month everything-on-demand?

Sports and news?

 

[RavenSEAL]

Sports and news?

CNN.com
ESPN.com

 

[vi edit]

CNN.com
ESPN.com

Good luck streaming live games from there.

 

[ultimatebob]

I'd pay $50 per month if it included all television shows, past and present, as well.

Yeah.. Buy why would Big Media offer something like that, when they can charge you $95 a month for "premium" cable and only certain shows on demand?

 

[HendrixFan]

Well I pay way more than that now, so yes, of course as long as they were in full 1080p with 5.1 DTS.

This. I pay $18/mo now for Netflix with no streaming but with bluray. Two at a time is enough for my schedule to watch most anything I want. If I could stream it instead I would, but only if the quality was there. When I did have streaming the video quality was ok but the sound sucked. I want my movies in surround.

 

[mugs]

unlimited movie streaming? But every movie every made would be available. Not just a select amount?

If not, what price would you pay?

Throw in TV shows and I'd pay $60.
