Coolroom movies-download site now live but what a shambles

[Bob Crabtree]

The Intel-backed Coolroom movies-download site did eventually go live around five yesterday afternoon, so we signed up and spent a merry few hours finding out what's really on offer.

Our first impression of Coolroom, sadly, is that it might have been better to have delayed the launch.

The site is broken in various ways or, at very least, the design is flawed - even if you totally ignore the white-on-black look that, we thought, every half-experienced web designer knew was a no-no.

What happens if your hard drive fails or you need to reinstall windows for any reason, can you still redownload a film?

It just looks like HMV's unusable online music store, which is enough to put me off.

What is wrong with a white/black background?

What is wrong with a white/black background?

As I said, reminds me of HMV's site, which was rubbish, although I am not personally a fan of that colour scheme anyway
