Vongo's collection is nearly as big if not as big as Movielinks, they offer a $10/mo. flat-fee rental program for most flicks and their prices overall are on the low-side. I'd say they are one of the most innovative companies out there! I must agree with Dave Zatz – where is the Vongo analysis?

As far as AOL offering videos for download at 10 bucks, Seems very high. I’ll give a comparison. My first two years with netflix I watched 465 movies, Recently I canceled my cable TV, so basically we can’t even watch TV because our location has zero reception, and I upped my netflix to the seven at a time plan. There is so much content to watch on DVD’s I have zero reason to watch live TV. Conclusion, $10 AOL movie downloads are way too expensive, just my 2 cent’s maybe I’m totally wrong and Americans will be clamoring to spend 10 bucks. I just don’t see anybody I know spending 10 bucks for something they can own on a hardcopy for the same money. I’m waiting for netflix to go (on-demand).

"And the only service with access to movies from Miramax, Pixar and Touchstone (all Disney-owned) is iTunes", but the chart shows Touchstone being distributed by Cinema Now and Movielink as well (and Disney themselves are also available through Cinema Now).
