arstechnica.com — An important rule of playing chicken in the business world is that someone, sooner or later, needs to blink. Otherwise deals don't get made, consumers don't get to spend money on anything, and summer mansions in extravagant locations sit lonely year round.

And the MPAA wonders why people pirate their work instead of paying through the nose for DRMed versions.

Apple could work a little harder on maintaining quality control - some movies I've bought off of iTunes looked truly AWFUL - bad encoding, blurry low rez, sound out of sync with the video !For what they are charging for a movie - it should be 1080p HD with iTunes down-converting it to fit your display.

As long as the movie rental is $1 - Just like RedBox:<a class="user" href="http://www.redbox.com">http://www.redbox.com</a>

Let me see if I understand this. The studios think I'll be willing and obligated to pay just about as much as it would cost for a DVD to get nothing but a movie at a lesser quality than on the DVD. No media, no extras, no anamorphic video. NOT WORTH IT! The trick here is LOWER the cost, not RAISE the cost.
