FAST AND THE FURIOUS OUT TODAY ON DVD AND ON WEB

Universal has become the first studio to release a film on DVD and for downloading on the Internet on the same day. The movie, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, will be priced at just $9.99, and, unlike other movies that have been made available for downloading, this one can be burned to a disc and played on a standard DVD player. The downloadable version is being released by CinemaNow, which has been encouraging other studios to agree to a similar deal. Studios have traditionally been wary of allowing their movies to be transferred to discs, fearing that doing so could lead to rampant piracy. However, CinemaNow recently acquired technology that prevents downloaded movies burned to discs from being copied.
