Amazon to launch streaming video service today
About 40,000 films and movies from all the major studios will be available for rental or purchase. If you've purchased a title, it will be stored in your Amazon account, allowing you to watch the movie or TV show from any computer.
Amazon is also working with hardware makers including Sony to provide access to the video store on television sets and set top boxes.
The service will only be available to a limited number of users today, with a wider rollout scheduled soon.
