DISQUS

last100: No more downloads, Amazon moves its online video store to the cloud

    It's going to be a dual pronged strategy (and rebranding) - BOTH downloads and streaming. TiVo, Inc also confirmed for me that Amazon video rentals/purchases on TiVo units are NOT going away.

    Thanks for clarifying that - although I had presumed that UnBox would co-exist, especially with the TiVo deal. However, it's going to be confusing to customers. What they should do is charge once and offer both options, especially for to-own content. I can download it, stream it, and have it live in the cloud and be future proof for newly supported devices.
