    Heartily agree with you Emil. No way this gets off the ground. 15$? Maybe, but in no way is $30 a smart price point. But, as you said, hopefully it reduces the time it takes movies to make it to dvd and bluray. We shall see. We shall see.

    For $30 I expect a bluray copy, a dvd copy, and a digital copy

    if they do simultaneous release, and make it $19 i'll pay for it. but it has to be blu-ray quality and HD sound tho. other than that... NOT in a million years. i don't even RUSH to go and get my netflix anyway. these hollywood big studios.... sometimes it amazes me that they're still stuck in the dinosaur age thinking. they really need to get out some more.

    If you can pay 10 bucks to watch it in theatres, why the flying **** would you pay 30 bucks 2 months later?

    19$ after a month from the theaters (where the hype is still strong) has more possibilities to success.

    Even if it's not an April folls joke...They still have over 12 hours to say that in fact it was a joke and save some face.

    $30?...What a joke!

    I'd pay $30 if it means I can rip and seed that movie to 50k people. Which is whats gonna happen if this isn't a joke.

    I'll wait for the DVD to come in the mail from Netflix. You can shove your 30 dollars up your arse Hollywood!
