It would appear thar Universal/Comcast have decided to test out movies at home. If there is a movie playing downtown you want to see, then if you have a HD set and $ 60 you can watch it at home on your big screen at the same time its playing downtown. They are trying this out in (2) test cities to start. Atlanta, Ga. and Portland, Ore.

I would have liked to have been in that meeting "Unfortunately our $30 plan is not working, I suggest that we raise the price to $60". When will they learn.

Idiots. Obviously, they just don't learn.

Actually, if this is a currently playing movie, then it is a better idea than $30 a month before DVD.

Imagine 3 couples, a couple of pizzas and some beer in my HT to see The Thing this weekend. That's $20 per couple for the movie. Less than the theater. I think this actually a better idea than DirecTV's implementation.

As soon you'll get money from those couples you would violate a law and should be punished ! :)

Now it would appear that theater owners are going to oppose the $ 60 movie plan. Claiming it could mean less revenue for there businesses. I will stay away from rmovie ticket prices.

Universal decided not to go through with it.

Remember back in '82... A VHS cost over $100 even way after the movie was out of the theater.
