You can burn the movie to a DVD... but it's of almost no additional value, since that DVD will only play on the computer you downloaded the movie to." No DVD playback. PC-only experience. Those are some daunting restrictions - never mind that the service's pricing structure has it peddling "Rumor has it," which retails on DVD for about $15, for $19.62.
