The basic components are already in the box: hdmi and optical audio outputs, as well as wired and wireless networking. It’s all there, they just need to go that last little step to have a truly dynamite product!

It seems that the 24 hour rental is a bit restrictive for those of us who are used to Netflix.

In order for Amazon to compete effectively the $3.99 rental will have to be reduced or at least allow you to watch the movie at a later date as well. Paying $1.99 per episode also seems a bit much considering you can download most of the content off the torrent sites for free.

The form announcent says over the course of a week we’ll all be updated. Bummed they’re releasing it with only SD content. Which, as an owner paying for content, reduces my interest significantly.
