| purchasing a lot of movies this will be perfect for you. And, if you do intend on purchasing a lot of
movies, the pricing is competitive enough that you are still getting a great
deal.
The
Skinny on Movielink
Movielink incorporates
a technology called “Progressive Downloading” that allows you to watch a movie
as you are downloading it. This means
that, supposing your connection is fast enough (regular high speed should be
fine), you’ll be able to have instant access to over 1,400 different movie
titles and you’ll be able to watch them immediately!
This technology
effectively removes the wait time typically associated with movie download
sites, and it certainly is better than going to your local video store to rent
something.
Movielink
in Detail
If the idea of
purchasing movies from Movielink sounds good to you there are probably only two
things that are important: price, and restrictions. Pricing is generally set between $1.99 and
$5.99 per movie, though there are occasional exceptions to that rule. There are a few restrictions to the
downloaded movie, such as the inability to burn them to DVD’s or transfer them
to portable players, but that’s probably due to the movie studio’s licensing
agreement and not Movielink.
The movies transfer
over quickly enough, so even if you aren’t watching them as they are
downloading you’ll still get your movie in good time.
Conclusion
Though the competition
for control over this market is fierce, we feel that Movielink is a solid entry
and definitely worth your consideration.
The ability to watch the movies as you download them greatly reduces the
wait times for accessing your newly purchased files, and the quality for both
the video and sound is fantastic.
We give Movielink an
8.5/10. |
