Download-2-Own and Digital Delivery Poised to Replace DVD Sales?

Download-2-Own and Digital Delivery Poised to Replace DVD Sales?

PHILADELPHIA, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internet's fastest growing Pay- Per-Minute, digital delivery web site, HotMovies.com, today announced a new program and web site Download-2-Own.com.

The company stated that trends and emails from their more than two million customers have identified that a substantial number of adult DVD buyers prefer seeing their DVDs through digital delivery rather than by purchasing the physical product in a store, online, or through the mail.

The company's new web site, Download-2-Own.com, lets users download entire DVD movies to their computer's hard drive so they can watch all or part of the movie whenever they want.

Until the launch of Download-2-Own.com, National A-1 Internet's premier Pay-Per-Minute site, HotMovies.com, offered 7-day and 30-day complete movie downloads. These were also downloaded to the customer's computer hard drive, but the right to watch them expired when the pre-determined rental period ended. While customers loved the ability to download entire movies, many were unhappy when the download ended and pressed HotMovies.com to find a way to offer unlimited downloads.

HotMovies.com floated the idea of unlimited downloads to the more than 900 studios that currently provide their content and HotMovies.com received an enthusiastic response from many of them. Currently eighty (80) have agreed to participate in this new and exciting digital delivery program. Major studios participating include VCX, Legend, Filmco, and Leisure Time.

As of the launch date, Download-2-Own.com offers 8000 total downloads (over 2000 are unlimited) with more added every day. Studios have embraced this new product because it reduces the amount of physical product they must package, ship, and have on hand. It also gives Studios more flexibility so employees previously involved in shipping and returns can devote time to other responsibilities.

As the "Home of the Classics," it is crucial that VCX maintain a cutting- edge approach to technology that will continue to keep our titles in the public eye. Partnering with HotMovies.com has done exactly that, says Dave Sutton, VCX president. "They were our first VOD venture and our revenue continues to grow in that space. We have great expectations for Download-2-Own.com."

HotMovies.com is a Pay-Per-Minute, digital delivery website that uses Micro Billing to sell over 35,000 movies by the minute from over 900 adult studios. HotMovies.com adds 50 to 100 titles every day, around the clock. This rapid growth is due, in part, to National A-1 Internet's continuing effort to deliver content people want at reasonable prices in a user-friendly environment.

James Seibert, National's Director of Business Development, says the company scores these frequent breakthroughs because it has its fingers on the pulse of digital content delivery.

"With our no-commitment, no-membership billing model, we've established HotMovies.com as one of the most convenient and innovative adult sites on the Internet," Seibert says. "This is just one more way to offer our visitors the largest possible selection of quality adult films through digital delivery which is the way they want to watch them."

At HotMovies.com, visitors watch what they want, when they want, for as little as 8 cents a minute. There are no memberships, no commitments, and more than 35,000 adult titles in streaming or download from which to choose.
