| Amazon + Tivo = Winner
Granted, unbox is still in it's early stages since they don't offer High Def, Blue-Ray, or as many new releases as Netflix. But the ability to go log onto unbox in the morning, select your movie (for as low as 99 cents) and have it on your tivo when you get home at night is a major plus. No more having to hook up your computer to your TV!
If Tivo can offer this service, they will have made one major leap over BlockBuster. If they can bring high def and the ability to download movies to your Xbox 360, they will be #1.

Even my old Series2 Tivo does Unbox well, and having the built-in ability to link effortlessly to my computer to view any media files located there (whether pictures, video, music) is a plus, as well.
Now, if Amazon/TiVO come up with a subscription service like NetFlix, where you could pay a fixed amount each month and then download/watch movies at will, well, that would put a nail in the coffin of Netflix, I think, since there is already a huge installed base of TiVOs out there that are already capable. |

| I subscribe to both TiVo and Netflix but UnBox just does not cut it compared to Netflix. If they have flicks for .99c I'd be happy to use it but every time I look at UnBox it cost like $5 to rent a flick. Thats is just not competitive enough for me to switch to Unbox. |
