Universal offers King Kong as first title in download-to-own service
'King Kong' will be the first of 35 movie titles available for consumers to download and own in a deal signed between Universal Pictures UK and online DVD rental service LoveFilm.
The movie download-to-own service is a direct-to-consumer, electronic distribution service. UK film fans will be to download two files of a film to own indefinitely -- one to save on their PCs plus a copy to view on a portable device -- alongside the DVD hire, when the service launches on April 10.
The service will also be available through AOL film downloads and is powered by online DVD rental service LoveFilm.
Peter Smith, president of Universal Pictures International, said: "Universal is very proud to be the first to launch this download-to-own model in partnership with LoveFilm, particularly debuting with a film of the calibre of 'King Kong'. Download-to-own has the potential to completely revolutionise the way people watch movies."

Another first: Australian film 'The Secret' has made its premiere online in full screen, broadcast quality.
Vividas, the video streaming technology company, has struck a deal with Prime Time Productions in Melbourne to deliver its first feature length movie over the Internet rather than the usual premiere at a cinema.
