CrunchGear reports that Sony is pleased to bring the first full-length movie loaded onto a 2GB USB Flash Drive… Ghostbusters.
At DoubleMule, we’re pleased to announce that the only thing more worthless than a 2GB thumb drive is one you have to delete before you can find a use for it.
Of course there’s probably all manner of concerns at Sony over DRM and how to avoid clever spoilers like using a magic marker to disable such “technology” – maybe it’s 1.5GB of rootkit installs and DRM security features, retinal scanning, and 500mb of 320×240 16 fps video.
Not like you could tell a quality hit on a gem like Ghostbusters.
Obviously it’s not an HD conversion… err, sorry, Blu-Ray, as it’d need to go onto one of those larger USB thumb drives, which tend to be equally worthless. Waiting 45 minutes to transfer some files is annoying as hell. Perhaps the $399 ones are faster, but then again that’s 3TB of real hard drives, so no thanks.
None of any of which would have even caught our mule’s attention, except, Sony seems to think they’ve been really cool here. This is a “first” of its kind, you see. First time a shitty full-length movie has been put on slow, unreliable, easily-lost, last-year media.
Wait a second, what about a VHS tape of Ghostbusters? Or perhaps BetaMax…
