Just popped onto Amazon, and this was on the front page:

Wasn't expecting that.

 

I just hope it's better than their old video technology.

 

I bought the first season of BSG in a HD digital download off of their site for $5 a few years ago, and you had to download this hideous video player that started every time windows started, took up a ton of resources, was a bitch to close with Vista and wanted several gigabyte downloads. Suffice it to say, I gave up on that and still never figured out how to uninstall it.

 

So here's hoping this is better?

 

Thoughts, anyone?

wow, it works pretty well. movie started fast, nothing to download, its right there in the browswer and you can pop it out, go into full screen.

 

streaming Short Circuit right now for a test.

 

Awesome! I'll have to give it a shot the next time I'm looking for something to watch.

Most stuff you will never watch but man, they have some classics and such. Hell, I even saw some nice foreign ones.

I'll check it out soon... or now.

 

Edit: Aww, they differentiate from Student Prime members. :(

Oh well. If I has a paid account, I would use this feature since it got some nice stuff that I want to watch but never got around to it. Hell, it wouldn't even cross my mind to pirate it. So, I would never see it. Maybe I should try out Netflix someday...

Lame.

 

Is there anything offered that isn't available from Netflix?
