New Digital Media Format Dubbed 'UltraViolet' Unveiled at CES

It's about time. Hollywood is taking a huge step forward in digital distribution today. Six major studios have announced a new "service and format" called UltraViolet, created by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE). Although I cherish my always-growing Blu-Ray collection, I recognize that the future is headed towards digital disc-less distribution, and along with Netflix Instant, which I already use and love, UltraViolet sounds like it's the next step in evolving the digital distribution medium. There are various press releases and details arriving in from multiple events at CES in Las Vegas, so there's plenty to read on this.
