I stumbled upon them a while back. Looks like PPV/ERT for kids content and only kids content. Interesting play but their angle seems to be a safe commercial free viewing environment where the parent acts as the programmer.

I have kids and think a PPV/ERT type model would work great for that kind of content. Yes, my kids do watch the same titles over and over again but that lasts for only a few months. As their tastes quickly change and they move on to the next age appropriate titles leaving the old titles behind never to be watched again.

Buying kids DVD’s is a mug’s game especially if you can “rent” them for a few months for cents on the dollar.

I think these guys might be on to something focusing only on the kids market.

It’s harder to stock as many choices because there are multiple discs and because the new release turnover is so high at the kiosks, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to finish the series if you start watching.
