Fox to offer movies online


Twentieth Century Fox today will begin --which could compete with Apple's iTunes Music Store--as part of a deal signed between the network and Movielink, a joint venture of five Hollywood studios. "I think you're going to see us be a lot more aggressive in the next few months," said Peter Levinsohn, president of Worldwide Pay Television and Digital Media at Fox. "This marketplace is really going to start to grow." Jim Ramo, chief executive at Movielink said "the end of 2005 and into 2006 is really a watershed year; I think you're beginning to see a snowball effect," according to a report from KFMB News 8.

    Not for Mac..

    Movielink does not support the Mac or even Firefox. Failure will follow.

    Exciting

    This is very exciting news. Though Mac support would be great, since I already have a media PC, I'm excited by the prospect of HD movies I can store on my hard drive and view whenever I want to, since it may be 1-2 years before we see HD material on DVD what with the format wars.

    Slow

    I have used movelink before on my pc and found it to be very slow. I'm on a 20mbit connection and it takes about 35 min to download one of the free samples. Once people see how slow that the downloading process is they won't want to use it. Not to mention very few movies are available for purchase and the ones that are on the site are the same price or cheaper on dvd.
