p2pnet.net reports that for £17 ($31.50) “BT’s download service will include two digital copies – one for a PC and one for a portable device – plus a DVD sent through the mail. The movies will be available as soon as the DVDs hit stores, several months before they air on pay-TV.”

Amazon also plans to launch a movie download service, where prices like $20 for newer movies and $10 for older ones are expected.
