At Last You can Turn Your PC to a home Theater

Yes, Home Theater. What would you say if you are given the chance to watch a newly released movie in your PC just spending $9.99, even without going to DVD shop? Let me be first to make it clear to you. Guba, an internet based entertainment service provider, started a new program for a limited time which will definitely change your video entertaining world. The company will provide downloadable movies to the PC users just for an affordable amount. I found this news in several articles and I am quoting some lines from one of those articles:

“For a limited time, GUBA users can buy downloadable movies for $9.99 on the same day that the movie is released on DVD. Users can buy catalog movie titles for $4.99 and TV show episodes for $0.49. During this promotion users can rent movies for $0.9”.

It is noteworthy that the buyers do not have to download the movie rather they will be able to watch the video just after few minutes of their purchase. In this regard, Guba has already made contract with several video production companies including Warner Brothers, NBC and Sony Pictures. The movies and TV shows will be available in www.guba.com. People from outside the US cannot enjoy this service as there are some problems regarding International Copyright. There are some other technical requirements and restriction to be involved in this service and I am providing some information regarding these requirements and restrictions below:

“Technical requirements: GUBA's Premium service uses Digital Rights Management (DRM) copyright protection software developed by Microsoft. Only devices with current Windows Media technology can play GUBA's Premium content, including most Windows PCs.
Restrictions: GUBA Premium content is only available to users in the US due to international copyright ownership restrictions. Purchased videos are owned in perpetuity but cannot be burned to DVD due to current restrictions of the DRM software”.

Though it needs some requirements and is not available for all, who knows, it can be the first initiative of another technological triumph.

What do you think about this Home Theater?
