Social-networking site MySpace.com will soon begin offering download-to-own television shows for $1.99, News Corp. announced Monday.
The site's video store will open May 22, the same day "24," a popular Fox thriller about a fictional counterterrorism agency, airs its season finale. MySpace also plans to set up a "24" social network, through which fans can sound off about the show.
As part of the video store launch, fast-food chain Burger King is sponsoring free downloads for two preselected episodes of "24," one episode of Fuel TV's "Firsthand" and one episode of Speed Channel's "Pinks," News Corp. said.
Fox already offers "24" through Apple Computer's iTunes store for the same price, as well as "Prison Break," "Unan1mous," "Stacked" and popular classics like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
"MySpace is the largest video site on the Web, with more video uploaded every day than any other site on the Internet," Ross Levinsohn, president of Fox Interactive Media, said in a statement.
I guess the price could be worse, but does anybody know the specs about these videos? Are they going to be in really small resolution? Or good enough to watch? Whats the file size?
The space agency powered down its last System z machine, years after IBM stopped selling them for the mathematical calculation jobs NASA originally bought them for.
The rise of Apple's stores is one of the past decade's great retail stories. So, why then does the company continue to creep back into the big-box outlets and will this hurt the brand?
The company helps small businesses with little tech savvy build apps easily, and now its partner Constant Contact will email-blast prospective users, too.
