Apple, 1/15/2008]]>Jan 15th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/Jan 15th 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/
I see downloads so far away not because of hardware/engineering abilities but the content providers trying to stop piracy. They are forcing so much DRM that is just a pain in the neck to watch a movie. When movies/tv shows goes down the path MP3's are now (ie DRM getting taken out) we might have a viable download service.

That’s how i see it,

Blu is the most anti-consumer physical format available.]]>Jan 16th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/
Thats not going to happen for the outcry from consumers. Besides, it's not as if the DRM won't be hacked soon and you'll be able to do whatever you want with the discs. There is already a standard for putting BD media onto double layer DVDS, and soon people will have BD burners. So Any nonsense coming from the studios will be hacked away. DRM always fails.. always..]]>Jan 20th 2008 4:00AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/
2. Also said in the Engadget live coverage, Steve called the HD movie rental on a set top box revolutionary, even though it's been possible on Xbox Live for what seems like forever now (which also has a bigger hard drive available for more downloads). Way to innovate Apple!

Although I will give them credit that they are doing it in a beautiful package and finally made the AppleTV useful. Is steve taking back the "hobby" comment?

What i'm really waiting for is for either apple or microsoft to have a subscription rental deal, pay a monthly fee (like netflix or blockbuster online) to rent as many movies as you want. They have even have fee tiers, pay less if you don't want to rent HD movies. Same with unlimited TV show downloads that expire when you stop paying the fee. I don't watch TV shows over and over again much, buying for life is impractical for me. I wonder why I bought the heroes season 1 HD DVDs even though I haven't watched them since I got them. Waste of money.]]>Jan 15th 2008 4:48PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/Jan 15th 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/Jan 15th 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/15/more-details-on-apples-itunes-movie-hd-rentals/
