Re: silly
Not only a DVD that won't work in a DVD player, but one that takes almost 5 hours to download (versus a 20 minute trip to Best Buy or another local store) and is as expensive (if not more so) than a normal DVD. Out of sheer curiosity, I priced the Brokeback Mountain DVD on Amazon and Best Buy. Amazon had it for under $17. Best Buy for $20. The article stated that MovieLink had it on sale for $20, down from $30!
In addition, the article doesn't state whether any extras came with the movie. I'm guessing not since MovieLink's site doesn't seem to mention extras at all.
A quick look at their website also reveals that some movies are limited to use on one PC. So I guess you're out of luck if your PC bombs out.
So basically they want you to pay more for something that takes 5 hours to get, doesn't play in your standard DVD player, and doesn't include the extras that a normal DVD would. Sorry, but that's just not too tempting to me.
