Amazon working on Netflix-killing streaming video service?
According to the Wall Street Journal, Amazon.com has been pitching media companies on a streaming video subscription service that would compete with Netflix. Amazon has talked to NBC, Time Warner and Viacom about a service that would work on the Web, on mobile devices, and on Xbox 360 consoles. The service could launch in time for the holidays, and there's talk of bundling subscriptions with Amazon Prime accounts. No content providers have been confirmed for the subscription service yet, though, so that timeline is far from a sure thing. The WSJ couldn't get an official comment from Amazon, so we'll just have to watch and wait.

I really feel for you Canadians. You guys sure have it rough!

Agreed! And even though Netflix is coming the catalog may be a whole lot less then the U.S. one. Just compare both itunes stores.

Sorry. Mostly kidding. I'm so sick of Canadians and Europeans whining about higher prices, or lack of availability on products released by American companies.
Did these American companies promise you people anything? Where is your Microsoft, your Apple? Complain to them, why don't you. But no, you take every new product release as a personal affront to you. It's tiring.

Hey! I love AmazonMP3 !!! I love how I can just go to a website and download an MP3 and save it on my hard drive.
It's much better for me than opening iTunes and dealing with that mess. Oh I still use iTunes for my aging iPod Nano... but I buy all my music from Amazon.

During the company's quarterly earnings call Thursday, Coinstar CEO Paul Davis said that Redbox is in "detailed negotiations with a number of highly interested parties" looking to join forces on movie streaming, and that the company hopes to launch a "Redbox-branded" online service sometime in 2011.
