I would not see this solution gaining much traction--you still have to go to a special kiosk to get your movie burned onto a DVD.

The DVD vending machines didn't do very well, so I am not sure why this would either.

I really do believe the www.allofmp3.com has done a tremendous service to the content industry--it has shown the viability of a much lower pricing tier (about 15 cents for a song, and I believe about a buck or two for a movie)

Why don't the studios just get together and sell at a lower price, becoming much more of a mass market phenomena and an impulse purchase...?
