There are some early-adopting geeks out there who claim to love VOD, but I think their taste in movies is suspect. The selection (except for porn) is so limited, no self-respecting movie buff is going to be excited about VOD until the content providers release more titles. Right now, the number of movies available on VOD just does not make it worthwhile, compared to the 50,000 choices you have with Netflix. Greencine has about 700 non-porn titles. Movieflix has 3000. Movielink has 1200.
The other big obstacle to my adoption of VOD is that I do not want to watch movies on my iMac, which is not networked to my TV. I would use VOD if it were the only source for an otherwise out-of-print title, and then only if I had a video iPod
