Who else is downloading 300?

Since I got a free download from wal-mart with the purchase of the disk, I figured I would check out the procedure.  Taking forever because my signal is varying as we go down the highway.....  15 miles and we will stop, fix dinner and watch it

Nope, works like the music downloads but will only play on the PC that it was DL'd/licensed to.  Slow as hell though.  Getting 2 versions, 1 for PC and 1 for portable (will not work on Ipod).  So, I am getting 2 X 2 hour movies.  Hopefully it will be done by the time I get up in the morning.....

ETA:  Then I have to see if it can be burned to DVD from media player.

But, you could plug the PC into the projector too and the DL is free from wal mart.


Also, why the hell does wal mart take all the stuffers out of their DVD's?  No stuffer with pics, chapters or any thing on them.  Bunch of F'tards.

Um.  I have not seen stuffers in any DVD for a while now.  I got 300 at Best Buy and it had no stuffer.  I think the DVD people stopped doing them because they cost money and not many people read them.

Unless the download is in the 3 to 6 gigabyte range, I don't think the quality is going to be projector-compatible.  

What kind of resolution is the video?  That's my main concern with commercial movie downloading.
