Wal-Mart says it shut down the download site after Hewlett-Packard discontinued the technology that powered it.

Lot's of reason's for failure

I am sure their are many reasons for this failure. Some include net
speed availability to download video in a timely manner. Many of
Walmart's sites do not work well with Apple Mac's. The whole DRM
issue. The fact that most movies are not worth the price to have a
copy of them. Rent em once and forget em. Apple may not have
any better luck. But they needed something to help Apple TV.

Yet Another Example of Disposable Media

So long as digital media is disposable, it should be priced as such. Hint. It's all disposable. The only question is how long before it's obsolete.

DRM SUCKS!!!!!

Yet again another reason why DRM Sucks. Guess what I paid for two movies and now when my computer becomes obsolete, so will my movies. What a waste of time and money. The entertainment industry needs to understand that until DRM is removed from the equation digital distribution WILL NOT WORK!!!!! TAKE OUT THE DAMN DRM!!!!!
