Too bad the USB stick doesn't transform.

Kingston and Paramount announced that both companies will deliver full-length motion picture feature films on Kingston Flash memory products. The movies on Kingston memory will be available to consumers as part of a bundle package and for sale.

"This unique agreement enables PDE to make available its entertainment offerings on USB and SD cards," said Alex Carloss, EVP and GM of Paramount Digital Entertainment. "As more and more movies are viewed on computers and other portable devices, having a relationship with Kingston will become increasingly important to Paramount for years to come."

One of the first movies out the gate is Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, which will come on a 4 GB USB stick and retail for $29.99. Sadly, there's no mention of what kind of codec or DRM scheme it'll use.

Would you ever choose to buy a USB stick move over a DVD or Blu-ray?

That would be so cool...and just plug the stick into the USB port on your 1080 and you're good to go!

I'd love to see more movies be released on a USB flash drive, and also see technology where you "just plug the stick into the USB port on your 1080", and you're ready to go! :D

I bought a Sony thumbdrive that had a movie on it. I was never able to get it to run, so I am a little skeptical about this new offering.
