    Imagine if XStreamHD could do this...

    ADVERTS 1

    Hollywood Considering - Movie Theater Sidestep




    This could be a great use for XStreamHD and would make LOTS of people want one.

    Nope this will make me not want XStreamHD $20.00 to rent a movie that is way to high.

    {No more SD} SD should be outlawed--Only HD please!!!

    Why would people want to shell out the $$$ for XStream HD when they could pay their cable co/satco $20-$30 for the movie?

    XStreamHD is a horrible business model and DOA, IMO.

    Because you only get the QUALITY for XStreamHD. Cable cant deliver 1080p with the full master audio in 7.1.

    $30 for a movie that is still in theaters is CHEAP. I don't know if you have been to the movies in awhile, but when I bring my family of 4 to the movies it is over $75 for all of us.

    why pay 20 dollars for one movie when I can get unlimted 1080p BD's by mail for 20 bucks a month?

    Agreed. its laughable. I just hope no one actually sent them any money.

    DTS MA and TRUEHD are great, don't get me wrong, but they aren't worth $25 more per movie. If I want to see a movie in the theater I go see it and pay extra if not I wait and watch at home (and likely enjoy it more).

    I'd expect to be able to buy a BD in 7.1 for $20-$30. Granted, not as quickly.

    I suspect XStream is too niche to make it.
