Dell will begin offering bundled packages of music and movies starting at $25 pre-installed on the hard drives of newly purchased Dell computers. Although such bundling will result often in the songs and movies costing half as much as they would separately, they will take up space on your hard drive. Keep in mind, there's only so many times you'll probably want to watch a movie before you decide to free up that hard disk space for other files and newer movies. The cost of backing up the bundled movies on an external hard drive or some other storage solution and the time spent doing so may offset the cost savings in getting the movies bundled with the computer. See the conversations below for more details.
