PRIMA Cinema Player |
PRIMA Cinema Hard Drive |
The PRIMA Cinema is a personal theater system that allows
someone to download movies via broadband at the same time that they hit
theaters. This system allows you to watch those movies from the comfort of your
own home. A working internet connection is required at the start of a film, but
internet connections will not disrupt the playback of a film.
The only catch is that each new release costs $500.00 per
movie. This is a small price to pay to avoid theaters and people altogether.
This is the perfect system for hermits and vampires. You never have to interact
with people again! Although, at $500.00 per movie, I can picture myself
inviting 50 people over and charging $10 a head. Or how about 25 friends at $20 a piece? You may want to read the
fine print first. Screening a PRIMA Cinema movie to neighbors and friends may
be illegal.
PRIMA Cinema is a game-changer. Before, only a few insiders
of the entertainment industry were allowed to screen theatrically-released
films in their own home. Prima Cinema now allows anyone (with the cash) to do
just that. But the Frequently Asked Questions section says that “Members can
enjoy films as long as they are available in the public Box Office.”
Does this mean that once a movie leaves theaters that it is
no longer viewable on your PRIMA Cinema?
The Prima Cinema has two hardware pieces: the rack-mountable
PRIMA Cinema Player and the PRIMA Biometric Reader. After all, we can’t let
just anyone download your movies. These movies are secure and only
available to you -- the PRIMA Cinema owner.
PRIMA Cinema uses proprietary technology, which comes with
3D support and claims to have better picture clarity and deeper color tones
than your standard Blu-ray players. They are also compatible with Dolby TrueHD
audio format.
The PRIMA Cinema sounds awesome, but it seems that only the rich will be able to enjoy this product.
Finally, someone thought of a way to legally download movies.
