I read the announcement, hit the Amazon site and linked my TiVo account with my Amazon account. Then I browsed the selection and prices.

Why I didn't and probably never WILL use Unboxed:

1)I can view up to 6 DVDs from NetFlix in a week. That's 24 a month... For $20/mo. Let's be nice... $1/DVD.

But the Amazon price is $14.99. Hmmm. Should I think about this? It's only going to take me 1-3 days to download the file to my Tivo (Series 2, USB 1.0), so I can have a higher quality version by then ... FOR WAY LESS.

I don't think so, Amazon/TiVO. I'll pay 4.99 for Just released to Theatre movies and 99 cents for anything on DVD. 49 cents for TV shows.

Anything more than that is a ripoff, which is, after all, what the MPAA does best.
