You know… with Steve jobs becoming the single largest share holder of Walt Disney… I had hope that perhaps some sanity would start to creep back into the Mouse House. Yeah… those hopes are lost.
Disney has announced that they’re going to start selling the full downloadable movies on CinemaNow on the same day that they are available on DVD. That’s good new right? Well here’s the rub…
Stupid Thing #1) When you download the movie… YOU CAN’T WATCHIN IT ON A TV! That’s right… they’re making it so you can’t burn it to a watchable DVD on your television. That is retarded!
Stupid Thing #2) Ok… so they’re selling you the movie over the internet. So they don’t have to pay for the actual physical DVD disk… or the packaging… or the shipping to stores. Also, it can’t play on your TV (See stupid thing #1)… so it’s at least going to be cheap right? WRONG!!!! Disney is going to be charging $20 US for the movies. ARE THEY FRICKIN KIDDING ME!?!?!
How on earth do they justify this?!?!
Ok, so here’s the question for you guys. Are you interested in buying a movie that you download yourself, that you can only watch on your computer or portable media player… for $20 US? Give your answer in the comments section.
