TechCrunch: iTunes v. The Rest
Posted by Jason Eaton in "ARTICLE" @ 11:00 AM
"We started testing the various movie download services earlier this summer when rumors of Apple’s new movie download store first heated up. We’re now regular customers of three of the services. Michael Arrington is an iTunes junkie because he likes having movies and music videos on his iPod, Nik Cubrilovic likes Movielink and I’m hooked on Guba’s very low prices. For those of you considering ditching the Netflix account or the weekly trip to Blockbuster and downloading movies instead, one of these might be just what you’re looking for. If you are a Mac user, the choice is easy. Only iTunes will work on your platform. If you are on a PC you can try any of the services below, which include CinemaNow, Movielink, Guba, Amazon Unbox and iTunes. Note, however, that you’ll be forced to use Internet Explorer to download these movies unless you use iTunes or Amazon Unbox."
TechCrunch has a nice little comparison piece for those of you looking into online movie rentals currently available for home PCs. Personally I am not a fan of most of these services as I think they are still showing some growing pains as they roll out to consumers but this may be a good primer if your considering taking the plunge. As always, come on in and share your experiences in the forums. Oh, almost forgot… GO APPLE!
