MovieLink 2004's Top Film Download Service, So Far

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the of-the-legal-variety-that-is dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The NPD Group has released some research on the fledgling pay digital movie download services. Numbers for the first half of this year show MovieLink as number one with a third of total users followed by MovieFlix with 13% of the market. It's a very small market though, with purchases equalling only 0.3% of the total movie market (and nowhere near the numbers of those trading on the free P2P services). Also of note, 80% of users are male and the top films purchased are sci-fi and fantasy."

    Sorry, but in order to enjoy the Movielink service you must have Windows 98/SE, ME, 2000 or XP, which support certain technologies we utilize for downloading movies.

    We do not anticipate supporting Mac or Linux in the near future.

    I guess I won't be enjoying the Movielink service in the near future either.
