Digital Trends Week In Review 10/03/08
October 03, 2008 | by Christopher Nickson
Here are the top news stories and articles featured on Digital Trends for the week of October 3rd.
PC maker Dell looks to be trying to ratchet up competition for the hearts and minds of entertainment-centric computer users: the company has inked a deal with Paramount to offer its recent superhero flick Iron Man as a pre-loaded option on its Inspiron, Studio, and XPS notebook and desktop lines. Adding the movie to a new computer's configuration costs $20, and comes with bonus content in addition to the film itself. The content is protected by Microsoft Windows Media digital rights management, although customers will be able to burn one copy to DVD and push the movie to a television using Windows Media Center extenders. (Oh, but high-def fans will be disappointed: Dell's $20 Iron Man offering is in standard definition.) And, Dell, notes, all content sales are final: if you don't like the movie, there are no refunds.
