$25 for a DRM crippled digital copy
WHY WON'T PEOPLE BUY THESE VIDEOS OVER THE ENTER NETS??!?
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 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!!!!!
