Amazon is rolling out a new video on demand service that will replace the rather crappy “Unbox” service. Not surprisingly, Amazon decided to shelve Unbox, which required downloading the video to a device (PC, Xbox 360 or other). The download was anything but “instant”. The new one stream movies directly in the web browser, which is much better, instant-wise. Now if they could have a decent Media Center plug-in, that would make my day. I suspect that we won’t see this anytime soon on the Playstation3, given that Sony just launched their VOD service.
