So we've got Amazon + Microsoft versus Apple + Disney?...
It'd be ideal to have this service work with my Xbox 360, but I suppose I could download to a PC and then stream via my Xbox, for now.
Amazon’s service, which is called AmazonUnbox, will sell most movies for $7.99 to $14.99 and most television programs for $1.99 (the same price as Apple). Users can also rent movies for a 24-hour period for $3.99.
Amazon will sell current and back titles of all major movie studios except Disney and has programs from several dozen television networks as well. Indeed, Amazon is the first video service to license the original “Star Trek” series.
[...]
Amazon will also give customers that buy movies a second, smaller file that is meant to be loaded onto portable video players that use Microsoft software.
