Ghostbusters on a Flash Drive in U.K.

PNY Technologies and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment have just announced that they are teaming up to offer the comedy classic Ghostbusters on a USB 2GB flash drive. Yes you just read that right, a USB flash drive preloaded with a movie.

This marks the first time for the release of a full length movie via a USB flash drive and will enable consumers to watch the film with one simple click on their PC or Laptop. The PNY "Ghostbusters" USB drive will be available exclusively through Argos stores in the United Kingdom beginning now, just ahead of the 25th anniversary year of Ghostbusters in 2009.

Stefanie Summerfield, Nordic Sales and Marketing Director for PNY Technologies said "As a market leader in the USB market, PNY's focus is to offer consumers added value by providing enjoyable blockbuster content on their USB. Standard features of a PNY 2GB USB stick include 12 hours of video play, 33 hours of music and 1080 pictures. This is all in addition to getting a preloaded movie on the USB flash drive."

Andy Armstrong, UK, Managing Director for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment added, "Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is delighted to partner with PNY to offer the first full length movie preloaded on a USB flash drive and ready to play on your PC/Laptop. We are committed to giving the consumer more choice in how to experience their movies either at home or on the go."

No word on when of if the PNY "Ghostbusters" USB flash drive will become available in the United States.

Neat idea.

I haven't even gotten into HDTV and Blu-Ray and they want to push another format.
Plus I already own 2 copies of Ghostbusters on dvd, so no need to buy it regardless of how cool it is.

Cool idea, but I still prefer DVDs.
