Great news for Blu-ray: DirecTV PPV's now come built-in with a 24 hour timebomb!

I don't see how a move like this can do anything else but KILL DirecTV's PPV business... which is fine by me... more $$$ business for Blu-Ray

For owners of the VUDU set-top-box and even the Apple TV , hearing of some sort of "24-hour limitation" is nothing new. Unfortunately for DirecTV subscribers, they'll soon be understanding exactly what it means to have content guardians put the squeeze on PPV purchases which will have a 24-hour time limit imposed on them from the time of purchase beginning next week (April 15th 2008)

This will certainly prompt a great number of people who used to get their movies via HD PPV to consider and move over to the Blu-Ray side
