Wal-Mart cans video download service

Looks like Wal-Mart won’t be offering its online video download service anymore, and this news comes as a shock since the service has been live for less than a year. This came about after HP discontinued the technology that powered it, and Wal-Mart won’t be looking for a different technology partner as well, hence the closure of the video download-only merchant store service. At the end of the day, it is profit that matters, and since this organ failed to translate to a surplus of dollar signs, it is but wise to can the entire service. Have you downloaded movies before, and do you think Wal-Mart has no faith in the long term advantage of movie downloading?
