Walmart launching Disc to Digital Service

[Smokey]

I put this right up there with people that lease a car and then buy it from the dealer at the end of the lease for full price.

What a totally smart idea for Hollywood and Walmart. What a stupid thing for a consumer to pay for.

Definitely agree with both of you

It is also a hassle. Who wants to collect their DVD and put them in a box [which can get pretty heavy] and haul it to Walmart. And then explain to the door greeter that these are your DVDs so he/she won't hassle you when you leave store with them. And hope the kiosk working and properly staffed.

And then deal with same greeter again as he/she will check you again to make sure you didn't take any DVDs that does not belong to you

Are there already options out there that allow you to rip a DVD to the computer anyway, and then couldn't you just store it yourself? Sure a bit of programming may be involved but it is much better for consumers, besides nowadays you can get a Blue-ray DVD that comes with both the regular DVD and digital copy so no worries, right? I suppose Hollywood is pinchin' pennies now that people are pirating stuff.
