Paramount First to Offer UltraViolet Cloud-Based Movies Through Their Site

  • For now, Paramount is the only group to offer UltraViolet digital movies through their site. The main drawback, as SlashGear points out, is users cannot download these cloud-based movies for offline viewing.
  • Consumers can stream movies over the Internet on iOS devices, but “Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone are currently not connected to this service and set-top TV boxes and systems like the Xbox, Wii, and more are not able to work with this service at the moment either,” reports SlashGear.
  • The digital format films cost $12.99 for SD and $19.99 for HD, pricey when compared with DVDs and Blu-ray discs.
  • “While this idea seems like a great one in some places, especially for people who have iPhones and also a bit of money burning a hole in their pocket, but there doesn’t seem to be room for growth if no inclusion of the rest of the devices listed above come in quick,” the article concludes.
