Just curious and why do you do it.


If netflix was not invented, I think I would just buy movies on ppv instead of going to a video store.

PPV is basically a rip-off in this age of DVD. No OAR, no extras, etc.

I suppose that for some people it's an easy thing to do (that's what they count on) but I'm not that lazy.

Yeah, it's the OAR problem that prevents me from doing it - EVER!

But I will watch a film I don't care about, but have an interest in, on the free ON DEMAND.

I just Netflix any movies I would've bought on pay-per-view, but don't really want to buy. It's cheaper that way and the quality's way better.

If my PPV options go HDTV, I might consider it (since the quality is better than DVD), but as long as they are only digital (and non-anamorphic), I'll stick with DVD purchases and rentals.

I currently do not, but I just got an HDTV, and the quality of a good HDTV broadcast is actually better than current DVDs. So..if my cable company gets a pay channel, (HD on DEMAND?) I might consider it. (better picture, in the OAR, and 5.1 sound.)

I've actually started watching HBO again for more than just The Sopranos and Six Feet Under!

My mom does out of convenience.

No, but I might if they were OAR.

Before DVD I would order movies from PPV, but not any more.

To me, PPV in its current state is the worst, unless you TIVO it and watch it later. Otherwise, you can't pause it... and the home offers many more opportunities for disruption.

Not even with the freebie coupons Dish sends me.

the only time i have done pay per view recently was to watch the nc-17 version of "the cooler" which is not on dvd.

Too inconvenient.

I just Netflix it.

I never do the pay-per-view for most of the reasons stated already, but the main one is the OAR reason, and I just signed up with netflix which I'm pretty excited about.

I pay-per-viewed (well, On Demand, same thing) tonight for the first time...i never do for all the reasons above. But i did tonight because i was watching Eurotrip on dvd, and it had a bad scratch in it and i couldnt watch the last couple chapters.

never....I don't even bother when they offer a freebie

Never, for all the above stated reasons
