I pointed out the same thing to Fin a few post earlier, 3h or more might seam like a long wait, but what is to stop someone from checking what films he wants to buy in the morning before leaving for work or at night before going to bed?
I look at my life and the lives of my clients and while a few fit your description most do not. These are impulse purchases. It's raining, there is nothing on the 300 channels so you look at what is available to rent. On occasion, it's a Saturday and you want Family night movies. Again, most don't know what they want to watch, and it becomes an impulse purchase.
Yes, I can watch my 3 DVD ( yes, I said DVD, not BD )collection of "Smiley's People" endlessly. My wife will not and for my girls it depends on their mood. They'd rather go to Internet streaming sites to watch eposidic TV shows they've missed. They care not a wit for quality.
If you are a subscriber to Ultra-Violet and you get BD quality discs downloaded transparently and you just chose and watch you may have an audience. Otherwise you are retricting yourself to a vew collectors and there are far fewer of these than there used to be--judging from my clients. Convenience and ease of use sell; quality does not. These are often Type A personality types so they "could" exhibit this behvior but I have found that while they could they chose not to devote brain power to these matters.
They want new or something they have not seen in years.
