Ohh, I see, you mean that "Unbox" thing.
Which can only be accessed through Amazon's own downloading software.
For Windows only.
To download files playable only on Plays for Sure-compatible players,
such as the Toshiba, Archos, and Creative Zen.
At prices equal to or more than the DVD release, at most discount
outlets per sale.
(How many reasons Why Apple Is Not Immediately Worried can YOU spot in
the above?) :)
