Dell offers up Qflix drives to burn CinemaNow movies to DVD

by Steven Kim, posted Sep 16th 2008 at 9:52AM

It's been almost a full year since we first saw DataPlay's CSS-compliant DVD burner, so let's recap the model -- you download a DRM-protected movie to your PC, grab a piece of specially-keyed blank DVD media, use the DataPlay burner to commit the movie to disc and then enjoy your oh-so-legal fun on the run. For all of you who want to live that dream right now, Dell has brought out its $120 Qflix drive bundle so you can save your CinemaNow movies to Qflix DVD media using the included drive, software and two pieces of media (in case one coasters). Seriously, what else are you going to use for long-term archiving of your movies -- hard drives or something?

Or...

You can just buy the movie on DVD and save yourself the $120 for the burner, probably $5 for the disk and probably $5 off the original purchase price of the movie itself...

Hard drives are currently cheaper than this media.

Frankly, that kind of puts it in league with zip disks.
