I tried Amazon Unbox for Battlestar Galactica season 3 and it works fine, but $2 an episode adds up fast. This is the "law of small numbers": people tolerate huge margins when the dollar amounts seem small. Combined with Amazon's predatory DRM terms, I'm going elsewhere.

I got into the Joost beta. It's slick but unreliable, with constant buffering making most content unwatchable. Big partners like MTV and Viacom are interesting, but no viral sharing or user content means YouTube still wins. Worth watching, but not ready yet.
