[glow=red,2,300]Twentieth Century Fox Announces Digital HD
Initiative[/glow]
This sounds interesting... Could be the beginning of something
that changes everything... again
[quote]Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment today announced
the launch of DIGITAL HD™ -- a new initiative that allows
consumers to download or stream their favorite Fox movies on a
variety of connected devices. Customized for today's digital
lifestyles, more than 600 Fox films can now be enjoyed anywhere,
anytime in amazing high-definition immediately in the U.S. from
Amazon, CinemaNow, Google Play, iTunes, PlayStation, VUDU, Xbox
Live and YouTube.
The epic sci-fi thriller Prometheus is also available today on
DIGITAL HD™ for less than $15, arriving three weeks before
Blu-ray, DVD and video-on-demand (VOD).
Digital HD™ combines four key benefits into one offering with
earlier access to new releases, attractive pricing, cloud
storage and availability across multiple devices. Whether the
plan involves watching Fox movies on connected HDTVs in your
living room, or on your tablet or smartphone on the run, Digital
HD™ offers up versatility and convenience.
“With almost 800 million broadband connected devices globally,
and millions of people accessing entertainment on those devices,
we feel the medium’s time has come,’’ said Mike Dunn, President
Worldwide, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. “DIGITAL
HD™ redefines digital ownership in a way that presents consumers
with a full range of benefits in a coherent way, and it allows
them the chance to build digital movie collections that can
literally be carried in the palms of their hands. ”
“Available in more than 50 countries, DIGITAL HD™ is a brand
that will define the convenience and selection that digital
ownership brings,” added Mary Daily, President of Worldwide
Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer, Twentieth Century Fox
Home Entertainment. “Over time, DIGITAL HD™ will embody the
benefits of HD quality and the ultimate all-access pass to the
best in entertainment.”
Today’s launch will coincide with the most extensive all-digital
media campaign to date for digital movies that will reach over
100 million active movie viewers across online retailer sites
and through the No. 1 sports, music and gaming sites.[/quote]

The studio's realize that they can't stop piracy so they are
coming up with tons of new ways to access their content. Having
said that, I still think it's a bit pricey for a download or a
pay-per-view option and not have additional content, be it
packaging and whatnot.
