Amazon Launches iTunes Killer

Leave a Comment Posted September 7, 2006 - By Stephen Johnson

Amazon.com launched a movie downloading service today, in hopes of killing Apple's iTunes.

Amazon Unbox will offer TV shows for $1.99 per episode, and most movies will go for $7.99 to $14.99; movies can also be "rented" for $3.99.

Apple is expected to enter into the movie-download services. An announcement from Jobs' house is expected next week.

Because TheFeed is ceaslessly negative, here's what's wrong with the Unbox.
