HP’s new service will allow for choices not always available at retail, due to shelf space and return costs.
Soon you won’t need to hit the mall or Amazon to get DVDs. Sony and HP just announced a deal that would deliver movies straight to your desktop—or laptop for that matter.
Flicks will be available through HP’s Video Merchant Service; order a movie and then use HP’s manufactured-on-demand (MOD) DVD program to burn your own personal copy.
Sony is the first studio to sign up for the service, and will offer anywhere between 75 and 200 movie titles. For now, it seems like HP is more interested in obscure, hard-to-find content versus the big blockbusters.
Doug Warner, HP’s VP of content services, says that the company is interested in delivering high-def content through the service as well, but that it’s “a ways off in the future.”

Automated Avatar Is Home’s Personal Electronic Greeter
Say hello to home control in this high-tech palace, circa 2006.
If I can not get HD content then I must say that I am not interested. I like to concept and ability to burn the movie to disc but in today’s age what is the point in not offering them in HD.
I also do not think it will take off very well without any HD content.
Thank you for the information though.
