While the iTunes Digital Copy is chock full of DRM, it makes it easy for consumers to transfer the movie into their iTunes library. Not to mention, it saves them from having to purchase the movie again from Apple. More information on the Digital Copy included with Blue Harvest can be found here. Add a comment
Just announced at Macworld, Twentieth Century Fox today released the studio's first Special Edition DVD with Digital Copy for iTunes, the Family Guy “Star Wars” parody FAMILY GUY PRESENTS: BLUE HARVEST - in stores now. Consumers who purchase BLUE HARVEST with the additional Digital Copy of the movie can effortlessly transfer a copy of the film to their iTunes library and then view on a Mac or PC, iPod, iPhone or on Apple TV...
...The new iTunes Digital Copy provides a consumer friendly way to transfer a DVD purchase to a user’s iTunes library. Once a customer buys the DVD, they insert into their computer, enter a unique code into iTunes and iTunes automatically copies the movie to their iTunes library within minutes. Customers own the iTunes Digital Copy of the movies and it has all of the same great viewing options as other iTunes Store video content, including the ability to be viewed on a computer, iPod, iPhone and Apple TV. Each DVD will only transfer its iTunes Digital Copy to one iTunes library.

Last week, Best Buy spokesperson Brian Lucas said the retailer would continue stocking HD DVD so long as studios release content in HD DVD and there is a market for the format.As someone who reads the Sunday circulars religiously, I can say that, in most cases, retailers are giving equal ad space to both formats. However, with Toshiba's latest round of price cuts and more titles being released on Blu-ray, things could swing either way. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here.

“As far as we’re concerned there are still two formats and the format war is not really over,” Lucas said.
He said Best Buy would continue telling customers about the two formats and not take sides so they could make “an informed decision.”

Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO), the consortium dedicated to sustaining the quality, integrity and dissemination of SATA technology, today announced its Power Over eSATA initiative. SATA-IO has begun work on a new specification that will provide power to external SATA (eSATA) devices without the need for a separate power connection. Led by the organization’s Cable and Connector group, the specification is targeted for completion in the second half of 2008.Power Over eSATA solutions, such as portable optical drives, are expected to be available as soon as the second half of 2008. More information can be found here. Add a comment
Today, eSATA devices require an external power adapter to supply the necessary voltage for operation. The new SATA-IO specification will eliminate this requirement by providing power for a single drive directly from the host system using the Power Over eSATA cable. Key benefits will be to maintain compatibility with the existing eSATA connector form factor and retain high performance at the current maximum interface transfer rate of 3Gb/s (gigabits per second). External SATA offers the only 3Gb/s bus optimized for storage performance. Data from IDC shows that eSATA can transfer a two-hour high-definition movie in less than one minute.

Toshiba America Consumer Products,L.L.C. ("Toshiba") today announced that it is stepping up its successfulmarketing campaign for HD DVD as it experienced record-breaking unit salesin the fourth quarter of 2007. Major initiatives, including jointadvertising campaigns with studios and extended pricing strategies willbegin in mid- January and are designed to spotlight the superior benefitsof HD DVD as well as the benefits HD DVD brings to a consumer's current DVDlibrary by upconverting standard DVDs via the HDMI(TM) output to near highdefinition picture quality...While Toshiba claims that this new promotion is a result of their record-breaking sales, the steep price cuts make it look more like a last ditch effort to grab market share and clear out their existing stock of players. Either way, it will probably make the format war drag on for another few months. If you'd like to read more, Toshiba's entire press release can be found here. Add a comment
