Well, I found the burner but don't know what is cost, I'll call tomorrow and post it.

How many will rush out and buy one? Hard to say, could be just like VHS going to DVD, reluctance at first, now everybody has one IMHO.

And regarding the kiosk market, well, that remains to be seen. Lets talk about that when/if TitleMatch ever gets off the ground.

Movie Download Services
Maximum PC has a great article on movie and TV downloading and burning there are 8 players in the field
Amazon/ Unbox
Bittorrent
Cinemanow
ITunes
Movie Link
Vongo
Vudu
Xbox live market place

Its is a very big article I suggest anybody going to Borders to pick up a copy and judge for yourself
None of the service got a 10 rating from the magazine
the best anybody got was 7 which is so-so
Amazon Vongo and Vudu got a 7
cinemanow Itunes xbox got a 6
movielink got a 5
bittorent got a 4

prices are all over the place rental range from 4 to 6 but that changes if you have a subscription
only 3 allow you to burns and they all have restrictions
You must purchase additional hardware the cost can be from 200 to 500
Quality of video can be poor on some services.
YOU MUST HAVE BROADBAND AND THAT CAN BE STILL IFFY ON DOWNLOADING. I personally have roadrunner here and sometimes it is frustrating just to watch U tube! never less downloading a full length motion picture!
To sum up no service is perfect and they all have there problems. I suggest again to pick up the mag and read it yourself.
Oh yeah Gordon Gordon you must buy NOW! Your hidden gem Gordon
you must accumulate Now! Gordon did you lose your Rhathymia about Protocall we want you back please buy NOW!
