Sony to Make an "iTunes for Movies"

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the downloads-jack-can-agree-with dept.

dAzED1 writes "After years of complaining that the RIAA and MPAA were missing the boat, and should have embraced things like Napster instead of supressing them, we got iTunes and the like. Now, Sony has announced it will 'make its top 500 films available digitally in the next year' according to a report on the BBC, with Sony's iPod replacement being the PSP."

    someone will come latter and release a better version not near as gay (Apple maybe?)

    Two things come to mind from this post...

    First: In the future, Kevin, I'd suggest using another word in place of "gay." I'm not saying Slashdot posts should adhere to the rules of political correctness or accusing you of homophobia, but it is both juvenile and mildly derogatory to use the word in that matter.

    Second: I can't believe an Apple product is actually being used an example of something "less gay."
