Thanks to GM for passing this along. Yahoo financial news
reports that the Disney Movies Online site will be closing down on December 31.
Disney Movies Online did not
attract many customers and had limited capabilities. Users couldn't
download their digital movies for offline playback, there was no support
for connected devices like game consoles, and it only offered movies
for streaming on Web browsers.
Disney
is the only studio of the six Hollywood majors that has declined to
participate in UltraViolet, a standard that gives consumers the ability
to view their movie purchases on multiple devices. It is developing its
own technology called KeyChest that performs a similar function.
