Movielink and CinemaNow have both signed download-to-own
deals with major Hollywood studios such as Universal Pictures, Warner
Brothers and Twentieth Century Fox.  Previously only rentals were available but now full movies will be available to download and own at the same time as the DVD becomes available.

I think this is a great move.  The item I find most exciting about this service is not so much that the latest releases will be available, but also back catalogues.  I'm not sure what format they will be using, but even if they supply the raw DVD on a 10Mb connection it will only take around 45-60 mins for movie to arrive.  If they opt for something like DivX that time should be halved - just enough time to make some popcorn.
