Free $1.99 Video? Yay! Windows only? Boooooooo!!!
As Giles blogged earlier today, Amazon Unbox just launched. New users are offered a free $1.99 video instant rebate. But you need Amazon Unbox Video Software to watch your videos–and it’s WinXP and above only. How disappointing.
There’s an interesting mix of films and TV shows on offer. Older films cost $9.99. TV shows are $1.99. A lot of the content overlaps with the offerings at the iTMS.
24 hours to watch a rental once you've started....or the file "deletes itself". Woe to parents with kids who span movies over a few nights.
Face it, the service is a real dog. I hope tomorrow brings better news.
