Isn’t Walmart doing something like that with audio or video stuff? Or were they planning it? It rings a bell…

MHAithaca- Makes sense to me. Plus I would think it would add immediate Amazon stickiness because it’s one more online “touch” for them. If folks are buying online, then relevant online promotion is key. (As Amazon already knows)

I’m really interested in this development, so I’m glad you guys are paying attention to it.

What would make sense here would be for the studio to work with Amazon.com so as soon as you buy the DVD from Amazon, your “digital library” has the digital copy of the movie immediately available for download and viewing. Perfect combination of instant gratification and physical product. It would increase sales of the DVD and would drive a lot of those sales to Amazon. Everyone wins.

Given prior licensing and availability of digital movie downloads, I wouldn’t hold your breath. BUT do let us know either way!

I’m actually planning on getting the region 2 version of Harry Potter from Amazon.co.uk (as I have with all the previous films) and they are saying availability on Nov. 12. I’m particularly anxious to see if there will be some sort of region lock on these files as well or if the digital copy will be available in the US only.
