According to MSNBC, Warner Bros. will become the first major studio to distribute its films and TV shows over the Internet using peer-to-peer technology developed by BitTorrent Inc., the home of a popular tool for trading pirated copies of movies. The companies did not specify a date but said the service will be offered starting this summer. Pricing is also undetermined, although individual TV shows could be priced as low as $1 and movies will be sold for about the price of buying a DVD, BitTorrent said. The studio also will sell permanent copies of films and TV shows online that can be burned to a backup DVD, although the copy will only play on the computer used to download the film and not on standard DVD players.

Personally I think it's a bit steep to sell a downloadable movie at DVD prices. It would make sense for them to charge a lot less than the cost of a DVD, because they aren't paying for the disc, packaging, printing, distribution, or bandwidth for that matter.

I think the movies should be about $10 or less and be able to be burned once to a DVD Disc so that people can enjoy them elsewhere and not on a PC.

Yeah, If they were offering HD versions of the movies for download I'd buy them for DVD prices. On the other hand some crappy encoding that looks worse than DVD I'm not going to pay DVD prices for. The convenience on their end FAR outways the convenience on the consumers.
