When we signed up for our DSL with AT&T they gave us a free 30 day trial to Vongo.  Vongo is a service which allows you to download movies to your computer.  It is competing with Netflicks.  I have been very disappointed so far and will not be paying the $9.99 per month subscription fee.  My main complaint is a severe lack of movie selection.  Most of the titles I have searched for are not available or they are but are an additional Pay Per View fee.  The PPV movies are not even new ones for the most part, Men in Black is PPV along with a number of others.  It would not take me long to watch all the movies I felt were worth watching along with a bunch that were not worth watching.  Also with the downloads you only get the movie itself, no special features that you find on the DVDs.  I guess that also means I get to skip the annoying previews so there is the upside as well. 
If they could seriously expand the selection of movies available this would be a nice service.  I currently only watch movies on my computer anyway as we currently are without a TV in our house.  We are probably going to stay that way too.  So although I could potentially watch a lot more movies a month because I would not have to wait for movies to arrive in the mail, Netflicks appeals to me more because they have almost all the movies ever released on DVD rather than just 2,500.
