Amazon, to launch online movie store. Amazon-IMDB connection seen as a big boost. [nytimes story]

"Amazon.com is in talks with three Hollywood studios about starting a service that would allow consumers to download movies and TV shows for a fee and burn them onto DVD's"

As a sidenote, other functional online movie download services: movielink, vongo, cinemanow.

Its all over this Friday's WSJ also. Will be an interesting play. Amazon might be the one true competition for iTunes.

Yeah, I believe so.
I still doubt if they will let us burn movies onto DVDs. If done, that should be one giant leap for the movie industry.

If a pixel were to see and interpret things as I do, and should it express, with a dose of my thoughts and afterthoughts; the flavor of such a talk should be close to one that you find on this page. And yes, cricket being my favorite sport, dont be surprised to find one too many related terms. Pad up is one such!
