techcrunch.com — Reports are coming out that Walmart is gearing up to offer movie downloads in the coming months. The impact of the move on pricing could be big; Walmart sells almost half of the physical DVDs bought in the US and the company could be a major player in the increasingly crowded movies-on-demand space.

Just what we need, yet ANOTHER movie download service with low-quality video, suffocating DRM, and outrageous pricing. :|

Wal-mart in a way owns the movie industry. If Wal-mart so cared, it could just stop promoting DVDs and the sales would plummet. Apple and amazon don't have that sort of leverage. You don't mess with Wal-mart and win (the music downloads being an exception because of bad management). If Wal-mart played their cards right, they could create a great service with an instantly recognizable and trusted name.Of course, their past ventures have been too cheesy or crippled, but nothing stops them from turning around and use their leverage to change the market.Leave us to our wishful thinking.

The point was, that the area i'm from is very rual. So there for the "script kiddies"(kids who use other peoples programs to hack or crack stuff and have no real skill) who seem to think that they are 'leet' because they are getting movies off the internet and not going to the rental place down the road.
