'Apple has signed News Corp’s 20th Century Fox studio to a new online video-on-demand service in a deal that could change the way people pay for online film content.

The agreement will allow consumers to rent the latest Fox DVD releases by downloading a digital copy from Apple’s iTunes platform for a limited time, according to a person familiar with the situation.'

And even after it hits Europe, I'll be happy owning Blu-rays --

-- you know, movies that don't expire after a limited time.

SKY TV has just signed all 6 major hollywood studios for their Sky Active, so Europe has got something.

Exactly. I'm so damn sick and tired of Bill Gates that it isn't even funny.

All you need to is look no further than that POS 360. People I work with keep telling about the problems they are having with theirs. I for one will be sticking with my Blu Ray's. I would rather have the physical disc and be able to watch it whenever I want as opposed to a 'timed' download.

No where does it mention exclusivity unlike what Microsoft is trying to attempt to lock up the market.

SpartanJohnson · 01-01-2008, 08:49 PM

cool. So these rentals can be transferred to an iPhone?
