[…] 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 launched their latest offering entitled Unbox Video which is essentially a video (TV shows, movies, etc) download to buy or rent service. Rumor is that Amazon rushed this out on Friday, September 8th to beat some super secret announcement comin…

I really like the idea of being able to choose to either rent or download to own (however, this does not appear to be an option for all movies).

For example, I could “Rent” Syriana 3 different times and it would still be cheaper than buying the permanent download. I’m primarily on Mac, so I sincerely hope that iTunes adopts this rent-OR-own paradigm for movies.

KAFKA 2.0 should be the name of this new Amazon Unbox,
as using Amazon Unbox is like being the hero of a Kafka Novel.
After my first problem of videos wrongly marked as “already downloaded” (no more licence to have the right to download something you bought)…
I now have a “not recognized” login on the software whereas my login+password work on the website… so I decided to Uninstall the software.
But you they say you need to first login on the software to uninstall it… so if you have a login problem, you cannot Remove the software from your PC. I’m not sure it’s legal, and I truly don’t understand how Amazon is launching such full of big bugs service without saying it’s a Beta version.

[…] As you all know, Amazon launched its new movie download service, Unbox. Search Engine Journal, CNET and TechCruch have coverage. iTunes is reportedly coming with a similar offering next week. Amazon has the benefit of a trusted brand and, according to many reports, a fairly easy/good user experience. (I haven’t tried it.) […]

It’s definately a nice system, but too bad that they only went with Windows support. It’s a good way to not only alienate non-Windows users from the Unbox service, but from the rest of their products as well.

I agree with 10layers. Alot of it is smart design -easy integration with a player. Not much thought-process, tinkering, etc. needed, just click and it’s easy viewing on your device of choice.

Someone mentioned that Disney is only about the Mouse or Pixar. It’s actually more than that. It’s Touchstone, Miramax, Hollywood, movies produced by ESPN, ABC, Disney Channel (trust me, High School Musical was very popular among tweens), and Lifetime.

Amazon had to hastily release this early so it could beat Apple to the punch on Tuesday. The video rental and purchase prices and video quality is what you can expect from Apple next week. Word is bond.

What’s more amusing is how Amazon is using a strange strategy to encourage infringement - their Unbox client installs vulnerable DRM software, so users can use doom9’s stripping program to convert the video into formats more favorable to transfer. All this, and since they use industry standard components, no one can call them on it! Lets give Amazon a round of applause for catering to the needs of the consumer, even if they can’t admit it
