Hollywood's Tokyo Godfathers

Slate: How Japan enabled the re-invention of Hollywood. "When PlayStation 3 arrives this November, with its Blu-Ray technology and super-realistic games, it will further blur the line between movies and games. The hand of Tokyo may not always be visible in the dazzling glitter of Hollywood, but it has enabled the industry to re-invent itself." It simply means that the means of distribution has left the studios' hands for the better and for the worse. I wonder how Apple's plans to distribute videos and movies on iTune studio will play into this picture.
