Does anyone else order pay per view on occasion instead of using the movie theaters? Last weekend my husband ordered Alvin And The Chipmunks on pay per view for $2.99 and I thought that was fun and much cheaper than bringing the whole family to the movies, having to buy snacks there, gas to get there, etc.

I havent been to the movies in a long long time. I have only ordered off paper view once

We use Netflix and never go to the movies. It is $10/month, but hubby and I enjoy choosing the movies together at home -- and watching them!

I do, if there is a movie I really want to see. It is way cheaper than the movies and more convienient (and a little cheaper) than going to rent it, especially with gas prices as high as they are.

I have never paid for a in demand movies but love to do the HBO in demand movies - best thing ever it is like renting a dvd without the hassle of going to pick it up or return it. I have thought about paying for some but right now I think I have most of the movies I want coming from the library in the next month or so anyways so I will just wait. If I couldn't put them on hold at the library I would so do the in-demand thing.

I do that from time to time. Our pay per view went up to $4.99 though. Isn't that probably the same price as renting movies?(which I don't do anymore because I thought they got too expensive) When we do go to the show its a movie thats been out for a couple of months and we go to a discount theatre. It did cost $2.50 until it recently went up to $3.50.

Our pay-per-view went up too. I never wanted to use it myself, but my husband has rented a few. Now I use netflix.

I never think to do the pay per view. I think ours is around $3.99, which I do not think is bad. I may treat myself to a movie or two per month when dh is gone and the kids are in bed. It would be a heck of alot cheaper than either renting them at the video store (gas, possible late fees) or going to the movies (gas, ticket prices, concessions). I do watch the on demand movies sometimes, but they are almost either movies I do not want to see or movies that we already own, or have seen before.
