HP gets Sony content for its on-demand DVD service

One year in, and Hewlett-Packard's DVD manufactured-on-demand service is getting some more 'serious' content as Sony has agreed to provide some of its older titles.

"We know there is strong consumer demand for these titles, and by working with HP we can monetize our deep product library and help give retailers the means to bring a wider offering of Sony Pictures products to consumers without a significant investment in inventory," stated David Bishop, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

HP's service will offer consumers quick and easy access to various shows or movies which may be hard to find and it basically relies on the IT's conglomerate manufacturing capabilities to see the discs be burned and shipped as fast as possible. The pricing for the soon to be added Sony titles has not been unveiled yet. read more
