LOS ANGELES – Fox Interactive Media and Twentieth Century Fox this week announced a new partnership to deliver movies and TV shows for download.
The multi-year deal will bring blockbuster movies like X-Men The Last Stand and TV Hits Such As 24, Prison Break, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia to properties across the Fox Interactive Media network such as IGN Entertainment and MySpace.
However, if you’re not in the States, you can’t download them, a spokesperson confirmed for Cartt.ca.
Fox Interactive Media’s network of properties reach more than 75 million people a month in the U.S. and members will have access to Fox Entertainment Group’s catalogue of leading TV and film content.
Initially, FIM will offer films from Twentieth Century Fox, including new releases, made-for-TV movies, direct-to-video releases and select content from the Twentieth Century Fox film library on IGN’s Direct2Drive site. The site will also offer current television series from various Fox entities such as Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Broadcasting Company, Fuel TV, Speed and FX, with a selection of shows available within 24 hours of initial broadcast.
In an industry first, purchased movies and television shows will be immediately transferable to Windows Media compatible portable devices, providing users with a convenient way to take the video content with them on the go.
