Manufacturers are racing to put out the latest and greatest handheld movie players. Similarly other companies are racing to provide content for these devices. Whether or not Apple announces the combination of the device and the content, their content pricing option is likely to be a pay per item or ala carte menu.

If your not sure that ala carte movies on a handheld is your cup of tea, maybe you should look at options like the Movie Downloads offered from EliteMovieDownloads.com.

They offer a 1, 2 or 3 year subscription at rates of $19.95, $24.95 and $39.95 respectively for unlimited access to their network of movies TV shows and for an extra $10 you can throw in their MP3 network.  Plus, they provide support and help in learning how to download, backup or burn movies to DVD or CDs.

Or to put it another way, for the aproximate price of a DVD or two you can get a yearly subscription to their movie and TV show offerings.

Plus, you can use their service to backup your existing DVD’s. Now for those of you that are very very careful with DVD’s this may not be that big of a deal, but if you’ve got kids and you take a drive or road trip or two with the DVD player like I do. You probably have noticed that the longevity of DVD’s on a road trip is not all that great.

The last thing I really want to do is buy my third copy of The Incredibles, its a good movie even for a cartoon but enough is enough!

I’m going to try the service out and see how it works with some handheld devices and let you know what I think!
