Time Warner and Monopoly cable companies have 1 UP on all of us

[seeric]

the shanes world stuff is on several of the cable adult on demand channels.

11.95 for 24hours rental on content that is 4 scenes on our sites. retailers charge around 30 for the dvd. the new units that are shipping can record anything that shows on your screen.

its impressive that time warner and the cable companies get 11.95 for one feature for 24 hours and the web fights to exaggerate the amount of content on sites for less than double the cost that the cable companies get for 4 scenes?


how bout them apples?


pimpin the porn addiction starts at the top.

i think i'm gonna start a 10.24 for 24 hours non recurring and tell my backend to only offer that special between midnight and 7 am in the USA.

50/50 split. hottest thing since banana pancakes.

there are alot of gonzo studio titles on ten late late night.

and what does Shane's World get out of that $11.95? And is there any way to know if the cable companies are shaving the amount?

i'm not sure how it works and i would never try to tell the DVD/Video side of the biz how to do what they do, but i think it is amazing that on an impulse buy we can all get people to pay 11.95 for something that they can pay 24 or 29.95 for for 30 days.

amazing.

MMA Just called me for real,they want me

haha i was drunk when i started this thread but it actually not a bad idea.


ROFL.

or

"15 bucks for 24 hours, no additional charges! unlimited access! 24hour rental just like your cable company charges you, but we give you ALL THE CONTENT!!!!!"

drunk dudes coming home at night would eat that up. I think the recurring scares away drunk people sometimes.

yeah i know, its not about that, its merely a perspective of time and perceived value.

its an impulse buy. i bet most of those movies are bought between 12am and 7am when people are partying and horny and not thinking with the right mind. i'm glad they do. think of migrating that impulse harvesting to the web where many of them many not join because they won't remember to cancel. i guarantee you it happens or they find free shit to whack it to. but having the ability to turn on a special feature between the hours of whatever and whatever where you blatantly sell them the one shot pop for like 15 bucks for 24 hours. could work. many many do not give the CC because of the recurring. and no one with a monthly who has a brain would offer a 30 day no recur if you want anyone nowadays to rebill. using the clock and peoples lifestyles to your advantage could be exlplored pretty easily.

our stuff is no where close to being ready for relaunch, but there are several companies that can flip a switch on their traffic and tell you how it works, or offer it on an X out or something.

to me anything is worth discussing if it can take advantage of a new trend. this would all be geared towards the people who wont buy recurring stuff anyway. keep it in that light.

might as well get a little of their money instead of none of it. oh well, all of this business is perspective anyhow. if it works it works and if it doesnt you keep thinking.
