Just Announced At Macworld And In Stores Now The First DVD With Digital Copy For iTunes: FAMILY GUY PRESENTS: BLUE HARVEST
Digital Copy For iTunes Will Be On Special Edition DVD Releases
CENTURY CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--Just announced at Macworld, Twentieth Century Fox today released
the studio's first Special Edition DVD with Digital Copy for
iTunes(R), the Family Guy "Star Wars" parody FAMILY GUY PRESENTS: BLUE
HARVEST - in stores now. Consumers who purchase BLUE HARVEST with the
additional Digital Copy of the movie can effortlessly transfer a copy
of the film to their iTunes library and then view on a Mac(R) or PC,
iPod(R), iPhone(TM) or on Apple TV(R).
In addition to today's release of BLUE HARVEST, Fox is planning to
deliver many more Special Edition DVDs with Digital Copy for iTunes
this year including the March 11 release of HITMAN, the stylish, edgy
action film starring Timothy Olyphant and Dougray Scott.
"The industry has sold nearly 12 billion DVDs to date and the
release of BLUE HARVEST is the first one that allows consumers to move
their content to an iPod," noted Mike Dunn, President Worldwide,
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "Given Apple's dominance in
the portable entertainment market and our rapidly evolving digital
world, a DVD with digital copy for Apple, offers a simple way for
consumers to satisfy their growing desire to watch what they want,
when they want and importantly, how and where they want."
The new iTunes Digital Copy provides a consumer friendly way to
transfer a DVD purchase to a user's iTunes library. Once a customer
buys the DVD, they insert into their computer, enter a unique code
into iTunes and iTunes automatically copies the movie to their iTunes
library within minutes. Customers own the iTunes Digital Copy of the
movies and it has all of the same great viewing options as other
iTunes Store video content, including the ability to be viewed on a
computer, iPod, iPhone and Apple TV. Each DVD will only transfer its
iTunes Digital Copy to one iTunes library.

pictures, Fox Filmed Entertainment produces, acquires and distributes
