Mobile Box Office- movie tickets on your phone

I hate standing in line so anything that speeds me into the theatre is all right in my book.  A new service, Mobile Box Office (MBO), promises to do just that.  How does it work?

1. From your mobile phone go to www.mbo.com
2. Select your movie and showtime
3. Securely purchase tickets with your credit card
4. You will receive a text message. Go to the link in the text message. (If you are having trouble go to www.mbo.com, then retrieve tickets)
5. Present barcode to usher at theatre to scan.

Now isn’t that easy?  There’s a video of MBO in action right here.
