This article covers more of a history lesson than a lot of details on how this system is supposed to work, but Turner is launching a service for "legally" picking up classic games rather than stealing ROMs and using quasi-legal emulators.

They're even taking a DVD-style route in terms of bonus content. As an example they mention getting the original TV advert for Pitfall, plus a newly-created mini-documentary on the making of the game through a short interview with David Crane.
