Worth Reading?


NoYes

This has to be one of the most random things I’ve ever seen. But if you think about it, it’s really not all that bad of an idea. If you need a flash drive, why not opt for this 2GB one from PNY that comes with Ghostbusters pre-loaded on the device? I am not kidding.

ghostbusters

For starters, who doesn’t like Ghostbusters? And second, I’m not sure why anyone hasn’t thought of this sooner. Sure, a movie on a flash drive is a bit counterintuitive, especially when many movies on DVD and Blu-ray these days offer digital copies of the films on the disc. But when something is cool, it doesn’t need sound reason. I guess.

Besides, the awesomeness that is the movie, my only real complaint is that the flash drive’s casing sports no Ghostbusters insignia. Where’s the movie logo? Or better yet, the Stay Puft marshmallow man? No word on pricing yet, but it’s definitely a different approach to portable storage and movie delivery.

    “many movies on DVD and Blu-ray these days offer digital copies of the films on the disc”

    Now, that’s a real surprise, ain’t it! And digital, no less! And I had thought that this is and always was their core-purpose. But what about the few DVDs that don’t have digital copies of the film on the disc?

    I’m certainly missing something here, but it was just to funny to pass :-)

    I know it’s funny, huh? But there are a ton of DVDs out there right now that have a sticker on the front that says “Digital Copy included.”
