WWE Content on Xbox Live Marketplace (Poll / Questionaire)

Mike~Sileck · 07-27-2007, 09:23 AM

Hey guys whats going on. As part of my summer internship with the WWE I'm putting together a proposal for including our content on Xbox Live Marketplace. However, my own personal opinions about how our content should be offered can only go so far. That's where you guys can help out.

What I'm asking is pretty basic. For all of WWE's library footage, including classic matches, current PPV's, and current compilation DVD's (Such as "The Ladder Match" and "The New and Improved DX"), how would you like this material to be presented on Xbox Live Marketplace?

In addition, how would you like to pay for this material? There are three basic models, Video-On-Demand (Basically a 24 hour rental) for a fee, EST (download to own, watch as often as you like) for a fee, and VOD for free, ad-supported (i.e., the content is free, but in the middle of the content there will be advertisements that you cannot skip, similar to watching television that isn't HBO, etc.).

So there you have it. You guys can truly help shape how we present our content online. So any thought, opinions, or comments are greatly appreciated. Please only reply if you have a serious opinion to offer.

Thanks again!

-Mike

Being as though I usually purchase the WWE DVDs which interest me (documentaries, mainly), I would rather have the ad-supported FREE VOD option as a way to sample the titles that I'm "on the fence" about purchasing on DVD. It wouldn't even need to be the complete full-length documentary but an abbreviated sample to give me a taste of what the complete package contains. Maybe a 30 minute preview of an upcoming/newly released WWE doc.

I wouldn't.

Sorry, Mike, too easy an answer

I think you'll find the ad-supported option will be by far the most popular regardless of potential profits for WWE.

You might get more of a response asking this question elsewhere.

I like the way this man thinks.

No worries, as a WWE fan myself, if the revenue of the company wasn't on my "to do list", then I'd say free also. We just have to make sure that if we offer it for free, we gain about 15x the viewers than if we were to offer it as a paid download (thats about the difference in revenue per model).

Anyways, where else might I ask?

And thanks for all of the suggestions. Any more are always welcome!!
