I finally got through to Movie88 to see the free movie that they are offering. Since I don’t have a blazingly high speed connection, I opted to view “All Dogs Go To Heaven 2” at 100k speeds. To give this test a fair look, I connected through my home entertainment computer, which outputs 800×600 resolution video to my 27 inch television. (If anyone is interested in hearing about this setup, send me a note and I’ll make a post with the system details.)

To be honest, 100k video streams look pretty bad, but when viewed full screen on my television, I could see the possibilities. For those houses with higher bandwidth connections, 300k would probably look pretty decent. Sound quality wasn’t even that bad.

My recommendation — everyone needs to look at this. The price point is almost exactly right — at a buck, I could see myself buying a film that I would never pay $7 to see through my cable company. I love the on-demand aspects of this. When next I travel, I’ll probably use this from my hotel room. At a dollar, it’s a bargain to catch a flick when I feel like it.
