Best Buy Co Inc plans to start an online service that allows consumers to buy, rent and download movies and television shows

The system, based on Sonic Solutions' Roxio CinemaNow service, would be built into devices sold at its stores, including television sets, portable media players, computers, mobile phones and other devices from a variety of manufacturers.
it looks like they're trying to take a bite out of iTunes sales.

iTunes or netflix?

As much as I like variety when choosing such services, I really don't think we need BB delving into this area.

would be built into devices
So now they're putting crapware and stuff like that into TV's and DVD players, as well as computers? At least on the PC you can remove it, but I don't know if that's possible on a TV??

On the other hand might be pretty cool! Although I think it should be optional, and tbh Apple will probably do it better, the new Itunes is great

No more crapware-ish then video on demand being built into a cable box or dvr. Are we worried about the clock speeds on our VCR's and DVD players now? Cheap movies is cheap movies, especially when the chance of it ACTUALLY slowing down our devices is about the same as any of us clocking a Pentium 1 to 7 ghz.
