Amazon lets you stream some videos with purchase of DVD or Blu-Ray disc

Amazon is rolling out a new service called Disc+ On Demand that lets you instantly begin watching some video titles after you purchase the movie or TV show on DVD or Blu-Ray. In other words, you get the benefit of having a physical disc that you can watch on a dedicated player and take with you wherever you go. But you can also start watching the movie right away.

Amazon's Video on Demand service is available for Windows and Mac computers, as well as some TVs and set-top boxes from Roku, Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, and TiVo.

Right now only about 300 titles are included in the offer. That's a fraction of a percent of all the movies that Amazon sells. But it's a start.
