Amazon and Apple are both unveiling downloadable movie services. Amazon already launched its Unbox service last week and Apple is expected to follow suit tomorrow. I’ve already made use of iTunes’ television offerings and I’m expecting that the movie store will be equally user-friendly. I’m less eager to try Amazon’s service after reading about its clunky interface and buggy software. And unless I can burn movies to DVD, I doubt I’ll make much use of either option. Crowding around the computer with friends to watch a movie doesn’t sound particularly appealing to me, so I think I’ll stick with my Netflix subscription and my personal DVD library. Besides, if I’m not careful, I might start to grow a root system while sitting here at my desk.
