At the same time, you bring up a good point that you can't keep disappointing customers and have it work in the longterm. This is why burn on demand technology is so powerful. The studios have already said it's coming in 07' and Redbox is reported to be testing it right now. Imgaine if they were never out of discs and could stock 50,000 DVD titles.
