Walmart decided to tell the movie studios that if they do decide to sell their movies on iTunes then they WILL NOT be seeling those movie at their chain. Walmart is the biggest seller of DVD's in the country. They have already returned their shipment of Disney movies.
Dumb
Ok, we all know that movie companys don't care. Their gonna get their money either way, people are still going to go to the movies, still going to use Netflix and Blockbuster. In my opinion it will still take a good 5 years for movies to go digital. And for that to happen all Telecom companys will need to upgrade their systems to accomodate the large data rates and transfer speeds. Then, in the customers home, you'll need to either run wire throughout the house or use wireless. Wireless G protocol transmits around 54mbs a second which cannot sustain a streaming HD video. So now we need to wait for the "N" protocol.
So until all this happens we will still be watching movies in DVD (not HD) quality, so to me it looks like it's another example of the corporations trying to milk the consumer for more and more money.
On a side note:
Regardless of what your watching......
DVD's - 500 lines of resolution
HD - anything 750 lines or better
witht that said......
780p and 780i
i = interlaced (every other line)
p = progressive (all lines all at once)
Soooooo, DVD is 500p
Most HD out today (including cable) 780i
So, cut that in half and we're basically watching a really clean DVD transfer
Don't believe the hype
