The cable companies and studios both know that the price is high and are working on solutions to sweeten the deal. One such idea is giving premium VOD customers a copy of the movie when it comes out. "We have talked [about] how we can get a consumer to accept a $20 to $30 price point for a one-night rental, [and] maybe you then get a copy of the film, whether it's digital or DVD," says Steve Beeks, president of Lionsgate. " I don’t think we have settled on anything," he adds. "We are actually anxious to see how the market develops."

We'll be looking forward to seeing what develops. Like this article? Bookmark and share with any of the sites below.        |
