The kiosk company MOD Systems, which launched in October has said today that playback support of its movie downloads has been extended to all PCs, and soon to Blu-ray players, HDTVs and other devices with SD card slots.
MOD kiosks offer movies from Warner Bros. and Paramount which are downloaded to SD cards. Despite SD cards being supported by many devices, the movies could only, until now, be played back on MOD SD set-top boxes.
Additionally, MOD says they have created technology that will allow device makers to add MOD support, through easy firmware updates. Players that can playback MOD will have the name “GreenPlay.”

Blockbuster has begun testing a new movie-rental program that will allow renters to load the movies to SD cards and play them back on their phones or TVs.
Each rental will cost $1.99 USD.
The rentals have DRM that kills the video after a certain expiration date, removing the need for users to return a physical disc. Users can also download the videos “on demand” from the Blockbuster website, but at a higher premium, $3.99.
Although in theory the idea could work, you will be very hard pressed to find mobile phones with full SD card slots, as most use microSD.
