[...] We covered Amazon Unbox pre-launch and post-launch. After its initial launch, Ubox received wide criticism, most notably from BoinBoing about its user-unfriendly license agreements. Unbox has by far the best meta-data on movies and TV shows, incorporating plot summaries, release information, production stills, and consumer ratings. Unbox sells from 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. [...]

[...] Amazonの動画ダウンロードサイトUnboxが本日(米国時間9/7)オンエアになった模様だ。Amazonトップページにはまだリンクが出ていないが、unbox.comの直接リンクは動いている。このサイトについては先月公開前のプレビューを紹介した。TV番組の買取りは1話$1.99、映画は$10~$20、レンタルは$3。動画ダウンロード部門の競争が激化する中、AmazonがiTunesに正面対決を挑んだ点は特筆に価する。Appleは来週にも動画ダウンロードの発表を行うことが予想されるが、もしかしたら新作リリースを最高$15に抑えることでAmazon進出の足場を崩しにかかる可能性もある。 [...]

[...] Considering that the average DVD costs about $17, a $14.99 protected movie - ahem - downloaded to a fancy new touchscreen iPod or Zune will definitely rip the DVD sales and rental market a new orifice. That said, Amazon is also planning this same thing, which means competition is going to get hot and heavy this holiday season. This also means that Apple had better think about refreshing the video iPod in the next few weeks or there’s going to be some pushback as customers flock towards larger, widescreen portable video players.

[...] It’s hard for me to get excited about this in terms of creativity, there’s not much new here - but at a time when AOL is giving so much away, it’s an interesting play to make themselves the dominant download-to-own portal on the web. Competitors MovieLink and Cinemanow both offer rentals as well as purchase, Guba wins on price to own and Sony’s newly acquired Grouper P2P technology may win on speed of download. Amazon has a forthcoming desktop video on demand client as well. But for now at least, if you’re looking to own and it’s selection from major studios you seek, then AOL may be the place to go when these partnerships come online. I’m still waiting for someone to partner with the studios and do something truly innovative, we’ll see how long that wait lasts. AOL [...]

All these video services are identical to Movilelink and CinemaNow (except Amazon apparently won’t offer rentals, making it a non-starter; this isn’t music, folks). However ML and CN have three fatal flaws: 1) Windows only, 2) terrible selection and 3) far too short, 24 hour viewing window. The DRM works fine and is appropriate.

Plays For Sure is the best choice for them, so it will play on hundreds of different devices and work with viiv and live.

Looks pretty ugly (I wonder why they don’t hire a grapghic artists or someone from the desktop customization world to make a skin for it).

But will it work? (I wonder if what program they used to make this player? DeskopX?)

Interesting that the system requirements for the player (2nd pic) show it is Windows only. Mac-heads: pounce… now.

People need to realize that media is shifting and any person that enters into this arena and can garner the support as well as make some deals for content will make money. I think this will have to be a non renting venture as DRM may be a hassle. Pricing will dictate success. At leat in my humble opinion.

If there’s no renting, it’s DOA.
