Major Studio Movies Available Through Movielink
Posted by Jason Eaton in "NEWS" @ 06:00 PM
"Akimbo™, the first and largest Internet video-on-demand service for the television, announced today that through their relationship with Movielink®, hit movies from some of the top motion picture studios such as Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Studios, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Warner Bros., will be offered through the Akimbo Player via the Movielink service. Movielink has programmed its video-on-demand (VOD) service specifically for the Akimbo Player, highlighting a variety of popular movies currently available for VOD such as “V for Vendetta,” Inside Man,” “Aeon Flux” and “Hannibal” as well as family films like “Curious George.” A touch to the RCA Akimbo Player remote control makes hundreds of movies in every genre available for rent at reasonable prices, ranging from $.99 to $4.99."
Not sure how I feel about this. When looking at what my cable company provides through its services with video on demand I somehow think Akimbo has either missed the boat or definitely has a very large uphill battle in front of it. While the services do have some difference in how they operate and their flexibility for the end user, I don't feel enough of a draw from the Akimbo features that I would want to pony up almost two hundred dollars (USD) for the experience. What about you?
