20th Century Fox is dipping its downloading toes into the 21st century’s waters, releasing movies on Android besides good, old-fashioned Blu-ray. In keeping with the Financial Times, retail discs of X-Men: First-class will direct owners to a web site where they are able to sideload a digital version of the film onto their Android device of choice. Apparently a few of the suits over at Fox caught wind of the way popular Android tablets have become, and now see them as complementary, not cannibalistic (keep in mind that industry buzz kill?) Sure, immediately you should not expect any Netflix-sized library of titles, but perhaps we will all agree it is a step inside the right download-to-own direction. Residents of the U.S., UK, Germany, and France gets the primary crack at downloading the movies. The remainder of you possibly can just stream and wait.
