Amazon's Online Movie Service

ebresie writes "According to the NYT, it looks as though Amazon is going to start competing with iTunes movie downloads." From the article: "So far, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Warner Brothers are engaged in the talks, said one person close to the talks who, like the others, asked not to be identified because the negotiations are continuing. Although it is not clear when it might begin, an Amazon downloading service would be sure to send waves through both the media and retail worlds. Players in both industries are racing to offer new ways to give technology-savvy audiences instant access to their favorite shows and songs, in a field crowded with potential rivals using Internet and on-demand technologies.

You f'in retard. If I am at home why the freggin hell would I use my iPod as a video player. Why dont I just use my PVR/DVR or my DVD player?

Spare me the lecture on RCA connections. Things have changed since the 90's.

Also spare me the sales pitch on the iPod. I work for Apple, and have had an iPod for over a year.

If I want to watch a DVD at a friends house then Ill take the damn DVD over there. I dont regularly plan to spend enough time at a friends house to watch more than one movie.

Sorry but your rebuttle is lame at the most.
