AOL adds movie downloads to video portal

Dedicated services like Vongo and Movielink are already doing the movie download thing, but now AOL, a major player vying for digital distribution market share (and our parent company, by the way) added this most sought-after of services to their video portal. Ranging in price from $9.99-$19.99, a decent selection of movies both old and new are available, but of course: you need a Windows XP machine and IE6 - not even Firefox is allowed to purchase (bad AOL! Bad!).

Now that an actual internet portal has ste ed foot on video download ground, how much longer will it take for A le to debut an iTunes iMovie Store? The CEO of Lio Gate Studios even dro ed a hint that it's on its way, so here's hoping the rumors prove their su tance sooner than later.
