We’ve heard about Apple’s and Sony’s plan to make better their digital media service already and now, Amazon is also believed to be working on a streaming video service according to Wall Street Journal. The service will be subscription-based and will offer older content.
Seems like Amazon is set to rival Netflix and Hulu and other companies rumored to be launching the same service but this one, streaming video games will also be offered specifically for the likes of the Xbox 360.
If true, this isn’t the first venture by Amazon to offer video on demand service since they launched the Unbox program before before
Unbox? The day the company turned that service into Video on Demand it came with 40,000 programs — a good 11,582 more than today’s Hulu Plus. So, if the rumors are true, we imagine that over two years and many integrated systems later, Amazon might still have a decent leg up.
