Can it be used on a mac? I would rather have the USB instead of the iTunes download. Atleast I can carry the memory stick around, no need to carry around my notebook

I don't like the sound of this.

Huh? What not to like? U hav the option of buying the movie on DVD, blu Ray, iTunes download, ps3 card or on memory stick.

U do know all the big movies nowadays come on all these different devices?

 

[StaceyMJ]

Yeah, it's not that abnormal really. I think it'd be a cute thing to have.

When the Thriller 25 album came out, it was supposed to be released on a flash drive also. But I never saw it in a store.

Wouldnt that just mean it would be easier to copy/distribute online but guess it will still happen regardless of this flashdrive - good idea tho and Mike loved embracing new technology and idea's
