    Arrow Hancock's Proprietary Download Experiment with Sony Bravia

    We've been sounding the death knell of traditional disc-based media for some time, but Sony Pictures seems to truly be ushering it along - at least in an experimental trial fashion. This week's blockbuster-in-waiting, Hancock, will be hitting the silver screen... soon to be followed by downloads - at least if you own a Web-ready Sony Bravia TV. That's right, after its theater run - but before it gets releases to DVD & Blu-ray, owners of Sony Bravia TVs (with integrated Internet connections) can download the movie over the Internet.

    Default Blu Ray vs. HD DVD all over again

    Well I guess if it is just that (see the title) then what does Sony have to lose? Didn't they just win the BD vs. HD-DVD war?

    Just my 2¢

    What about everyone without a Sony TV? They should make it available to a broader audience if they want to make an impact. How about starting with PS3 owners?

    Hancock hasn't even come out yet and it is already being called a flop. I read a review of someone who saw a sneek preview showing of it last week and they said it was pretty bad.

    Which means it will only make 100 million by the end of the week.
