From this article:

it appears to me that the movie studios (except Disney) have gone off and struck a deal that gives them some modest bargaining chips with Apple.
I predict not much will come of these download services. The movie is slaved to the PC, so you cannot put the movie on your iPod. From what I read, getting the movie displayed on your TV will be a bit of a challenge.
There seems to be some serious business poker being played out behind the scenes between Apple and the movie studios. Should be interesting to watch.
Meanwhile, I saw that Samsung has delayed its Blu-Ray player another month. It’s looking bad for Blu-Ray with the cheapest player at $999. The HD-DVD camp might win by getting out there fast with their cheaper players. That’ll be a shame.
