I like the idea, I may have to pick it up just for the simple fact that it is cool.

I like the idea too, its clever and feels progressive. I won't get this ROTF release but if another movie (say the original TF movie) is released like this, I will get it.

I saw some USB sticks "preloaded with a movie" on sale at Big W the other day... just trying to remember what films they were... clearly not Transformers :confused:

Just normal looking USBs. About three or four films to choose from. Just recalled one was Terminator 3.

How do I get this... It looks awesome.
Not for the movie, but for the USB.

4GB? Too small, would be crud quality. I think I'll stick with DVD.

DVDs typically only have 4.7GB of space. Take out the special features and you could easily fit a movie on a 4GB USB without loss of quality.

Per layer yea. Most if not all the dvds I have are dual layer. ;)

It's a point about taking stuff out, but it'll still be something that's only "watch on the computer" type of quality.

These days you can convert DVD's to around 700MB files with almost no visible quality loss (personally I watch via streaming to Xbox 360). By "no visible quality loss", I mean I might notice some compression, but a regular person like my wife could never tell the difference.

Man, I was doing that like ~10 years ago. :D

It does depend on the output device of course (TV), but I still say it's too small a device. I'll still stick with DVD. And if you really want the high quality, well, let's just say that the stick is in the region of 21GB too small. :p

But hey, I do see it as a good thing overall, at least this is a first step away from optical media, well, you all know what I mean retail wise. The first person that mentions betamax or vhs gets their toys broken.
