Are DVD+iTunes movies on the horizon?
It would be a shame if you could buy one thing and have it work on everything you own, right? Imagine the concept of a DVD that you’ve just bought, also being able to work on your iPhone / iPod without extra software. The rumor floating around is that Twentieth Century Fox, amongst others, are toying with just that. In addition to the regularly-scheduled-program that you’ve bought, new packaging would include an iTunes-ready version, as well. All this for a $3-4 premium. Of course, the instant downside is for those that are already deep into the HD world of movies, whether Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, as the lack of abundance in computer HD readers still hinders compatibility on this new front. But, we applaud the thinking, and hope it comes to light sooner rather than later.
This seems like a good idea but it’s the same as ripping dvd’s or cd’s, just easier.
If nobody is as pissed as I am about it, NBC has officially been ripped off iTunes. As of last Friday or something.
