Yeah, but it's not going to encoded as mpeg1. I assume it'll be WMV or something.

So that's two pieces of Ghostbusters news today, this is one and the other is the new movie (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=48564)

Shame this thing has restrictions and a high price tag :\

DRM aside, they're not even using the full 2 GB of space. Let's assume they're only using 1 GB; that's what, just over the quality of a video CD?

If anyone still has some of those laying around, pull them out and watch them. You'll be surprised to be reminded just how awful they were.

If this was actually a "bonus movie" and with it being Ghostbusters, I may have been tempted to buy this USB stick over another. However seeing as it's £20 extra for this "bonus", it makes it simply a stupid purchase.

Were I to plug this in at my office, I would violate about 5 NDA's and have IT all over my ass for loading unapproved DRM in the corp environment.

This thing needs a DRM warning label.

Hollywood is in fact clueless.

If the flashdisk has the movie as BONUS and have one simple way to delete the movie than why not. If we pay the movie, than no thx......

Well said Rich.

You buy a piece 'o' memory, then have to spend about an hour of your own life [that you cannot reclaim from the makers...] finding out where to d/l the papware removal tool from on their site.

If I want an app, I go out and buy an app. If I want DRM, I buy a copy of Vista and sign up to iTunes. If I want a movie, I go out and...... I think you get the idea.

shonky.

Something Like 2 gb stick with 2008 Olympics on it, well maybe bit bigger. notice how use term 1080, making public smile at how cool 1080P is. Thank God I'd Say they got over 1080i,(whats Point?), then churn up 200 Hz Sets, So NO Matter, Public always wants MORE, Clever Stuff for living room. If you want Chuckie goes for The Gold, it should be sales enhancement & then add to media drive. This is More Choke, due to Unreasonable Cost. P.S. 1984 was over 23 years ago & Ghyosts Have NO Life.(Only Breathe)

Thankyou Inq!

This has been the inq community service for the day, we now get back to endorsing paying websites. Good job on the last part, way to stick it to them.

Yah, a difficult choice indeed. Just goes to show ya that the Hollywood types have even less understanding about reality than the computer industry.

First thing I do when I get a new memory stick is take all the pre-loaded crap off it. I buy 'em it for storage, not for the freakin' malware.
