On one hand, having to buy Microsoft Points is annoying as all hell, and makes you spend more money than the actual price of a movie. On the other hand, a 5 day rental at the video stores where I live (which seems to be what all of them are doing) is running $5 bucks, and you have to remember to take that back in a week. So, looking at it from that point of view, $6 for 14 days ain't bad. I can’t decide if these are a good price or not.
