I care, and we're finally getting to the point where we have internet plans with enough data allowance to make use of this kind of service. It's great to see a service like this available in Australia, it's the kind of thing we've been missing out on for years.

I fully care.
I would love to be able to get home Friday night, sit back with the GF, polish some Dark Souls then whack on a movie without having to get up.
If they price it FAIRLY.
I always rent movies form the video shop, I like to rent Blu Rays for $4 or less. But those times are a changin, theres heaps of movies I would like to just put in my queue and watch, for $4. $4 is the limit for older movies for me, and $6 for new. If it exceeds this, its back to the old ways.

I'm not sure I do, I mean it's cool and all but streaming HD movies is going to eat into my download limit something awful. Not to mention that I doubt my internet would be able to do so seemlessly.

I doubt that the PSN could handle that, at least over here. Personall, and anecdotal (over and over again in the forums), experience with downloads and updates over PSN finds it slow as a stoned tortoise - I wouldn't be willing to let go of any amount of money to test streaming an HD film over it.

If the speed of my PSN is anything to go by, I MIGHT be able to watch a movie at 240p resolution without hitching or buffering. Its quite pathetic really. That's on a 10mbps internet connection.
