Do you feel that the subs for Sky Movies are too high?

Might result in cheaper movie packages in the future?

If you're just taking Sky Movies, then IMO it offers extremely poor value in terms of what you can get from the likes of Lovefilm and Screenclick.
No one ventured into the game 20 odd years ago, too risky, no one wants it, then there was the half baked BSB, but they merged with Sky, no one else went near this idea for years after, now Sky is the dominant player, and no one is happy, I suppose Sky could say "What have you been doing for 20 years whilst we have been spending millions"?
I take it you have never used the excellent sky player.
I don't remember anyone else trying to compete.
Can't really complain if no-one else has stepped up to take them on.
That said the amount SKY pays for movies is significantly lower the sports contracts and does not require huge investment in production so in theory the price to the subscriber for movies should be significantly lower when compared to the other premium content which is sports but that's how you make money:)
