hmmm, i wonder if they have DRM? seems like if someone like, say a professional journalist, were to write an article on the subject, on a professional tech site, they might include one such caveat in the article.

Who is their right mind is going to pay £16.99 for a download?? DVD is only £6.99 and Blu Ray only £15.99!! Are Samsung living in the real world??

I agree with you about the pricing. They're always trying to charge us for the "convenience" of being able to download to a mobile phone. Plus how long would it take to download a movie to a phone. I'm sure some type of streaming before it's completed will be available.

Beyond pricing issues though, I think it's a step in the right direction.

Samsung should just stick to making chips, TVs, phones, etc., and get out of this idea. It's not their schtick.
