Though its video download store will officially open for business next year, Wal-Mart took a tentative first step yesterday. Customers who buy the physical DVD of Warner Brothers’ “Superman Returns” in a Wal-Mart store will have the option of downloading a digital copy of the film to their portable devices for $1.97, personal computer for $2.97, or both for $3.97.
So let me get this straight. I buy a DVD. If I want to watch that movie or tv show or whatever on my ipod or any other device I own that does not have a DVD player, I have to pay more?
I call shenanigans.
BTW, I found a pretty easy program that will rip my DVDs to my ipod if I want it too. I think I'll use that instead.
