| Ghostbusters Is First Film Released On USB Key Passion SiN-X Admin Sins: 794 Xations: 6%   09-04-2008   Are you the USB keymaster? You could be soon if you pick up PNY’s new 2GB USB flashdrive, which comes with Ghostbusters pre-loaded. While the music industry has been playing around with USB flash drives for a few years now, the movie business is still relying on discs, but that may change following this partnership between PNY and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. We don’t know what file format and compression settings are used on the film yet, but a spokesperson for PNY explained to Custom PC that it does come with a form of DRM that prevents you from copying the movie. ‘They have DRM protection,’ explained the spokesperson, ‘so customers can download the movie onto their laptop or PC if they wish, but they have to have the USB drive plugged in to watch the movie, as the DRM is locked in the USB drive.’ PNY’s sales and marketing director for the UK and Nordics, Stefanie Summerfield, says that there will also be room on the 2GB stick for ‘12 hours of video play, 33 hours of music and 1,080 pictures,’ and added that ‘this is all in addition to getting a preloaded movie on the USB flash drive.’ The PNY 2GB USB key with Ghostbusters is available from Argos now. Would you be interested in buying movies on USB flash drives, or would you rather stick with conventional media such as DVDs? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

| Sin's Playtoy Sins: 2,608 Xations: 16%  | Sorry but most movies can fit on a regular 1GB drive right now with no protection. Why would they think someone would purchase a media with such major limitations. They maybe didn't see the crapy results from Sony's UMD movies. | |

| Paradox Sins: 3,847 Xations: 14% | The selling point here is of course legality which still matters to some people. | |

Maybe this is just another trend they want to do to get more money out of it, but the UMD's aren't that bad from what I've seen | |
