Interesting..  I didn't realize the industry was close to doing that.

I've bought some movies on blu-ray & DVD that have a code where you can redeem an online digital streaming version.  I've noticed some of those let you download the movie locally, but the ones I've redeemed seem to be DRM-protected and only playable in the app it was downloaded with.
