According to a report from Video Business, digital-download kiosk maker MOD Systems will deploy kiosks over the next month that allow users to download films from Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures and Anchor By studios.
Video Business spoke to MOD Systems chief executive Anthony Bay about the pilot:
Bay said test kiosks should be in stores by Nov. 15, though he wouldn't give many other details. Consumers will be able to visit the kiosks, search and download films to an SD card, the same cards used to store digital photos on digital cameras. The cards can be placed in SD card slots found on some TVs, PCs, DVD players, mobile phone and other devices for movie playback.
The kiosks reportedly will house some of the fourth quarter's biggest releases, including "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Star Trek."
