Studios to Join Disney Movies Anywhere Platform? (1 Viewer)

That’s not the point. XBL and PSN are both massive movie storefront silos in their own right. If they are cut off from cross garden buys this seriously knee caps them. And I thought both were DMA participants

No, they are not.

And as you said back in the 2nd page of this thread: “If it works like DMA does even a UV non fan like me will be all over it.”

Wow that’s insane. Cutting off a storefront like that is a HUGE red flag for me. It bodes poorly for this follow on scheme.

Apparently if you disconnect then reconnect your DMA account on iTunes you see this...

(you can only do that so many times a year so don’t try it just for giggles)

And it’s official.

Paramount and Lionsgate are “supportive of the concept and could join later”

So Sony is not supportive?

So Sony is not supportive?

I assume they are. One of the free titles you get for signing up is Sony. Did something make you think otherwise?

 

[Sam Posten]

They aren’t listed in the article.

They aren’t listed in the article.

It says “20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures are among the major studios joining the service” so I think it’s implied that there are more than they listed.

Also it says Paramount is the only 1 of the 6 major studios to say no - so Paramount, Disney, Warner, Fox, and Universal make 5. Sony would be the 6th.

And again, you get a free Sony title for signing up (and we can see Sony MA titles being added to Vudu’s system).

Sign up where? Nothing about this is official, it's all industry gossip with a bunch of maybes...

Another bunch of industry gossip says Paramount is a definite out and Sony is a no show.

And even these guys still think Microsoft is in the scheme. Great. =/

It’s not industry gossip it’s a done deal! There’s already a list of 7000 titles that are marked as movies anywhere on Vudu and a lot of Sony titles are in the list. Graphics have been designed and code has been added to phone apps. There is a lot of evidence.

Here, some more “gossip” for ya

You and I have very different definitions of official. Nobody doubts that the service is imminent but the details MATTER.

Sony studios on the fence. No early tweets from them.
Paramount out
Microsoft out.
Likely No PSN Support

Any one of those is a bummer. All of them is a mess

 

[Cranston37+]

Sony studios on the fence. No early tweets from them.

Why do you keep saying this about Sony when everything we’ve shown you proves otherwise? Warner Bros hasn’t tweeted anything yet - are you going to say they had a change of heart now?

The directory of MA enabled films at Vudu...

Their VERIFIED Facebook page, which includes a SONY title in the marketing...

www.moviesanywhere.com is now live.

AND YES IT INCLUDES SONY

That's resolving to a Disney only site now accessible by Google, Disney and Facebook logins.
