> will you pay to see what you already see in less quality??

Good question.

I completly agree with hermaf. When will I pay? It depends, hard to say on what. For example the well known StarTrek Episode I. I got it on CD, downloaded from the Internet... in the end the movie was so bad in my eyes (as old Han Solo fan) and I decided not to watch it on big screen. Also I'm looking forward to get Episode II on DivX and propably decide to skip it too... the trailer is already boring IMHO.

Very different was Matrix or Shrek... I have downloaded them, but decided to watch them on big screen first, live and with most fun. Also I bought Matrix on DVD, great surround effects! Then I bought many of my top favourite movies on DVD, because I want to enjoy the big 16:9 TV screen and surround sound pleasure. Sometimes I buy them because you never get them on P2P, e.g. the old b/w Flash Gordon series, awesome but not mainstream.

Well, most movies are not worth the money, €20 or more on DVD. Having them on harddisk with good quality (DivX) is fun. Btw, always fun is downloading trailers and watching them... I remember 'Final Fantasy' trailer.... wow, great teaser!
