Pay more, get less … only from Hollywood
Movielink and CinemaNow launched today to provide movie downloads.
The downloads cost $20-30. For example, the latest Harry Potter movie is $28 to buy on Movielink. You can play the movie on a total of 3 computers. You can't burn it to DVD and play it on a DVD player. Downloads are available the same time as the DVD.
The DVD costs $21 on Amazon. You can burn it and play it on unlimited PCs and DVD players. Plus the DVD includes Subtitles, Audio Tracks, Additional scenes, Cast interviews, and many other features.
Borrowing a page of unreality from the recording industry, Paramount Digital Entertainment President Thomas Lesinski said "Hollywood has finally made a real commitment to sell films online and embrace the digital consumer."
Embrace or Vulcan death Grip? Hollywood values this commitment so much it is forcing you to pay more to get less. It is little wonder why consumers turn to P2P.
