Paramount Pictures has become the first studio to offer UltraViolet films directly, not just including them in Blu-ray purchases.
Additionally, the studio has joined Warner, Sony and Universal in including UltraViolet digital copies in its upcoming Blu-ray films.
If you click to ParamountMovies.com, you can browse through the collection and either rent or purchase the film of your choice. Renting does not use UltraViolet but purchases do. As expected, Paramount has not put their entire catalog up, but there are new and older films, including Super 8 and Chinatown.
After purchasing the films, you can download them or stream. iOS streaming is also available, but offline viewing is not for the devices. There is also no support for set-top boxes or the PS3/Xbox 360 yet, either.
SD titles cost $12.99 and HD cost $19.99. Ultraviolet titles remain in your digital locker forever.
