“King Kong” to Kick Off Universal’s New Download/DVD Service
Universal Pictures has launched a new service in Britain that will sell digital downloads of movies such as “King Kong” along with a DVD copy, tapping into the online video market now dominated by Apple’s iTunes.
From April 10, consumers will be able to download two digital copies of selected movies — one for a computer and one for a portable device — and receive a DVD in the mail.
Universal’s partner, Lovefilm, already has a movie download service that provides films from Warner Brothers on a rental basis. The new service announced on Thursday is download-to-own, meaning that the downloads will not expire.
