CinemaNow 2.0: 3D, 1080p, Android & WinMo get a taste of online movie distribution
Posted on January 4, 2010 | No CommentsThought digital delivery would get left behind in the jump to 3D? Roxio's CinemaNow 2.0 platform is ready to build on the success of its predecessor -- already embedded in many devices and powering the online stores for Blockbuster, Best Buy and Zip.ca -- and flip the switch bringing streamed or downloaded 1080p or 3D, plus the ability to add additional background info on each movie or previously disc-exclusive extras like multiple audio tracks, subtitles and more. Also new for 2.0 are plans for access on Android and Windows Mobile devices. We're still thinking a combo of lower prices, all you can eat subscriptions or a disc tie-in is the logical next step, but we'll wait for a CES demo to ask about that, and whether the new features will be backwards compatible on old hardware.

Redbox is making life very difficult for the movie industry
Posted on December 8, 2009 | No Comments
Proving once again you can find a study to prove almost anything, a report came out today showing that Redbox will bring down the movie industry by continuing with their $1 a night business model. Sounds like some sour grapes to me.

Samsung teases Bada at event, questions still outnumber answers
Posted on December 8, 2009 | No CommentsWe've just come back from the Samsung Bada mobile platform launch event in London, and frankly the presentation was no more than an app developer and investor magnet -- no rendering of a new UI, no hands-on opportunity and no direct answers regarding the hardware. The only mention of a Bada phone is that something's coming out in the first half of 2010. That said, today Samsung did bring in representatives of five strong Bada app partners: Twitter, Capcom, EA, Gameloft and Blockbuster. Needless to say mobile gaming is high up on Bada's agenda, but the brief presence of Twitter's Head of Mobile, Kevin Thau, solidified Samsung's dedication for integrating SNS (social networking services) sites on mobile handsets. Yes, just like many fish in the sea. Read on to see how Bada aims to be "an ocean of endless enjoyment."

Blockbuster Express DVD rental kiosks to invade NYC
Posted on December 1, 2009 | No Comments
Look out, NYC. Blockbuster is getting ready to roll out 200 Blockbuster Express DVD rental kiosks in New York City. Why you ask? Well, according to the WSJ report, NYC is a Redbox weak spot with only three kiosks in the entire city while there are more than 20,000 nationwide. But just like the original DVD rental kiosk, Redbox, Blockbuster Express offers first run movies (which the movie studio's don't get any rental revenue from) for only $1.

Hands-on: BlockBuster On Demand on TiVo
Posted on October 13, 2009 | No Comments
TiVo users have known that Blockbuster On Demand was coming to TiVo for a while, but the service just went live. So, does it have the goods to put up a fight against Netflix or Amazon On Demand that have been streaming content on TiVos for months already? Nope, not at all.

TiVo’s On Demand section down for Blockbuster On Demand update
Posted on October 13, 2009 | No Comments
Don't look now, but your Series 2, 3, or HD TiVo is probably getting the Blockbuster On Demand update right now. Actually, go look now because while I couldn't get a picture to show this accurately, the screen above looks slightly different than other TiVo screens. It's tad higher resolution and there is just something different about it. Maybe a TiVo GUI refresh is just around the corner...

Blockbuster On Demand coming to TiVo sometime today
Posted on October 13, 2009 | No Comments
TiVo users! Rejoice! Soon you'll have access to Blockbuster On Demand content as if Amazon, Netflix, Walt Disney Studios, and Jaman services weren't enough. I hear that sometime today, the service will go live on Series 2, 3, HD, and HD XL boxes but so far it isn't up on either my HD or HD XL units. Not that it matters all that much. I'm not going to use it anyway.

iPhone Football Faceoff: EA’s Madden NFL 2010 vs. Gameloft’s NFL 2010
Posted on September 11, 2009 | No Comments
Holy Mother of Football Heaven. Talk about a head-to-head matchup. Gaming heavyweight Electronic Arts against mobile superstar Gameloft. We've seen this before, folks, on various mobile devices. But never on a stage like this. And never with the stakes so high. The iPhone is the ultimate arena for this blockbuster duel, and we're going to judge this match play-by-play for you. We'll go through each of the major aspects of a quality simulation football game and tell you how each game scored. But first, a little background on the contestants:
EA is the owner and developer for the best (and only) football franchise in the world, Madden NFL Football. They've also kicked ass on the iPhone platform with titles such as The Sims 3, Need for Speed, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and more. Gameloft, despite having far less success with their football franchise, has managed to dominate the iPhone platform. Gameloft has racked up more than 6 million sales with titles such as Gangstar, Rise of Lost Empires, Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles, and others. This will be a truly epic battle, but nobody can deny that EA, what with more than a decade of experience with the Madden franchise, is favored in the bout of a lifetime: EA's Madden NFL 2010 head-to-head with Gameloft's NFL 2010.

Vudu tries plan B, offers 1080p streaming on LG TVs
