And if they want to charge that much for a crappy quality, they should have done it with Device Label Ravage, make him 4GB, whatever.
As it is, I can't see too many people buying this, other than impulse buys, and completionists. I can't see the average parent getting this version of it, especially when it is much more than DVD and more than a Blu-Ray | |

I do think the concept of media on flash-type drives has it's place though, as we move into a digital distribution era there are still going to be lots of regions that will be under-served by the bandwidth to take advantage of it. (not to mention people who just want something 'tangible' to own) | Yep, a dual-layer DVD (equating to the single disc version of ROTF) is about 9GB, and most of the disc is taken up by the movie.
So this is WAAAAAY below the quality of the DVD. | |

Sticking them on a USB drive is what you do if you're downloading movies, transferring them between computers, or being an asshole (I don't know how that last one fits in, but oh well). The biggest problem is, how are you meant to play it on a DVD player? That's right, you're not, unless you've got the latest high-tech one that supports USB playback. Mine has a USB port, although I'm 100% sure what it's for, but it can't use it for playback at all. This is a stupid idea. Just like all the other stupid ideas they come up with. Let's get back to looking at new Transformers figures prototypes. That's more fun. Roll on more revelations, please.

What many people here fail to understand is that optical drives aren't that special. Soon, we'll have such devices with the same features as DVDs on sticks, not fragile disks. I welcome this. With SD releasing massive memory cards and with USB 3.0 drives on the horizon (32gb to start with) devices with HD quality movies shouldn't be far off.
Plus, HD TVs these days come with USB ports and built in video decoding ability, not to mention different media boxes being released each year that are HDD based, not optical drive based. It's so much more useful this way.  | |
