Will people buy pen drives to watch movies??

Rather launching new movies in pendrive i say customized Pen drive where it can be with microchip technology so you can start your car and u can insert the same in the Dvd player to play the content given in Pendrive. I Have seen this wher many company are offering the pen drive with their software which is preloaded and can be played and is not erasable. This helps the company to grow and takes a diversion.

You can visit http://www.customusb.com/ For better knowledge about this so hope people will go for this as the technology is advancing and its in ur THUMB

I appriciate the idea but i have a different outlook over this. movies in pen drives can be successful as it's a upgradation of the technology. As you mentioned that people can erase the Data whenever they feel to. As per me we should look it from 2 prospectives.

1. People Gets a Pen drive with pre loaded movies, so from this you provide them a solution.

2. second thing is that once people erase the movie from pen drive they can use it as normal one. then i donot think so any body will spend Rs. 450 extra for 3 or movies as your CD is avilable just in below to Rs. 50. so in general terms # movies cost only Rs.150. People should have option too to fill it back at very reasonable amount with their favourite movie may be Rs.30/ movie,which would be exclusively avilable at your store. and it can be a competetive advantage as well for your new pen drive product. we are living in a country where piracy is the major problem,and 70% people download movies from the internet. so if people will get good print at very reasonble price then i do not think people will spent hours to download movies from net whoes print is not that good. You can use the option also in which nobody can copy it from the Pen drive as it happens in the case of Audio CD's. So as per me Refilling option  should also be there.

Good Luck !!!!

I differ a bit from you Malika, the aspect I consider, are not economic but convenience i.e. to handle easy.

RWDVD (Re-writable DVD), normally of 4 GB to copy movie comfortably. But, you see , the convenience between RWDVD & the  PEN-DRIVE of  4GB. (1).Plug in & copy . Also, very cozy to carry where-ever you go.

But,(2). RWDVD needs a DISC FOLDER   to carry or it gets easily scratched. But it is not the case in Pen-drive.

Economic consideration is, left to the Consumers, on the merit of the(3). value- added-service by Pen-drive.

It depends a lot on the quality of the movie. Downloaded movies are very poor in quality. earlier TV sets did not have usb support, but lot more TV set are providing this facility now. this eliminates the need to DVD player. secondly dvd's are not reusable. one can recycle the pen drive for new movies, save environment hv a green planet
