Amazon Unbox

[pontifex]

Any use Amazon's Unbox?

How does it work? do you have to download the whole movie/show before you can watch or is it streaming?

i've used it with my tivo
the whole movie had to finish downloading before you could watch it.
i only rented movies when they have the $1 sales
everything worked fine

I looked at the prices for TV shows and said no thanks. Why buy DRM-crippled downloads at $1.99 for a single half-hour episode?

If they ever offer much cheaper _rentals_ of TV shows I might bite.

if i wanted that, i'd just use on demand on my dish thing, right?
