Time Warner to release films on P2P

While I think that digital distribution is soemthing that the big film studios need to think about, I believe that Time Warner have the wrong idea here.

Time Warner embraces P2P | The Register

The article says:- The subsidiary will be called In2Movies and will offer films for about the same price as a DVD ... The film files will go online the same day DVDs are released.

So, you still pay pretty much the same as for a boxed DVD, complete with artwork and inlay, but you also have to use one of your own blank DVD's to burn it to. This is assuming they make the full DVD .iso available, with Menus and special features rather than just the bare-bones film.

I think they'll need to make the downloadable version MUCH cheaper than the full, boxed DVD for this to be an attractive proposition.
