PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN - MOVIES FOR TV AND PHONE TO BE PACKAGED TOGETHER

MOVIES FOR TV AND PHONE TO BE PACKAGED TOGETHER

DVD buyers who complain about the difficulty of transferring their movies to their mobile phones because of built-in copyright protection software may soon be able to buy a home video package that will include, along with the DVD, a microSD chip that can be inserted in their phones and provide immediate movie viewing. The first such disc packages (the Pirates of the Caribbean and National Treasure series) are due to go on sale in Japan in November with plans to introduce similar DVD/SD combos in the U.S. later this year. Packages containing the SD card will sell for roughly $10 more than the DVD alone, published reports indicated.
