Amazon has opened the doors to its long rumored Amazon Unbox TV and movie download service.
Individual TV episodes can be purchased for $1.99. Most movies are available to purchase for $8-$15 and rentals are $1.99 to $2.99.
TV shows and Feature Movies downloaded from Amazon play in the Amazon Unbox Player, a free download from Amazon.
Each download includes two .wmv files (one main file containing the video and a preview file) and a .amzn file (smaller format file optimized for mobile devices). You cannot use Amazon Unbox to play video files downloaded from other vendors.
Downloaded videos will also play in one approved mobile video device which currently includes the Creative Zen Vision: M, Creative Zen Vision, Toshiba Gigabeat S, Archos AV 500, Archos AV 700 , and the iRiver PMC (Portable Media Center). Microsoft’s upcoming Zune player will also most likely be supported.
