The UK's movie download scene is to brighten with the Wippit online music store signing a deal with Universal to offer download-to-own features. The link-up will bring a welcome range of new releases, including King Kong and Jarhead, as well as some back-catalogue films available for UK downloaders when it launches later this month.

New releases will cost up to £20, although you do get the DVD of the film as well. Older films will cost £5 and there's to be an introductory three titles for£20 deal on offer too.

Wippit is the third site to sign up for Universal's download-to-own (DTO) service. AOL and Lovefilm have signed already, but Wippit is the first online music store to offer Universal films.

The link to Wippit doesn't work. Should be www.wippit.com ?

Thanks for the tip E Grant, the link had an operator error in it! I've fixed the operator and fixed the link. Hope it didn't spoil your reading of Netribution too much....
