AOL To Offer Flicks Over Broadband

America Online is moving to the next medium a high speed connection can offer its customers - movies.

For a limited time, AOL has teamed up with Movielink to offer movie rental downloads for 99 cents USD or less.

From January 22 through February 26, 2.5 million AOL for Broadband members will have access to over 600 films that comprise the Movielink library at 80 percent off the regular price of $3.95 to $4.99 USD. Movies can be downloaded in either RealVideo or Windows Media formats, and be stored locally for up to 30 days.

Download times vary depending on file size, but films can be viewed before the file is complete. Movielink averages download times at between 50 to 90 minutes, with average playback possible within 2 to 10 minutes. Windows Media Player 9 or RealOne Player 2 and later is required. According to Movielink, there is no daily limit on views of movies.
