$4/movie when i could get a month of X service for $8-12/month is kind of too high. Pay per episode for the TV shows I want to watch is too high almost whatever the price (who would pay anything to watch the logan's run tv series??)

Maybe we can get a frequent renter's club. $20/month for 8 movies (two a week) and 20 episodes?

I agree movies are expensive.

However, I’m very okay with iTunes’s <$3 per episode. Sure it’s more than most vod subscriptions, but the shows are mine forever, and I can buy just about whatever I want.

If I watched more TV overall, it might get too expensive, but I don’t, so quality over quantity.

The Amazon Prime model works decent i think. Bunch of included content and stuff that’s too expensive to throw in for free gets a rental charge.

Was trying to find John Wick 3 this weekend and no joy. I would have paid a premium for that.
