Amazon to offer $2.99 HD TV shows soon?
Hot on the heels of Apple’s recent announcement of HD movie rentals and purchases, Amazon is rumored to be readying HD content for its Amazon Video on Demand service. Apparently Google search bots have indexed some Amazon pages, like the Law & Order page above, that show HD content for $2.99 per episode. The same cached pages also suggest the availability of season passes for this HD content — a potentially great feature if the price is right. Clicking on any link within the cached pages bring you to the main page of Amazon’s Video on Demand page suggesting that this HD content is not ready to go live… At least not yet. It’s probably safe to assume however, that a formal announcement will be coming soon.
you can get TV shows through Comcast in HD for 99 cents…
You can get them off of tvRSS for free. Eventually Hulu will get their butts out of their heads and have all their shows in HD, free. Heck, I can record it on my Tivo in HD and get it Free.
Notice a pattern, yeah: Free works, pay doesn’t. Give me all the shows I watch, when they air in HD for a large margin less than my cable bill and that would work also. Monthly fee for unlimited HD television through the internet. Then I could get rid of my cable and save a fortune.
Pay for a tv show? No way. Hulu / boxee / tvrss is all I need

I can confirm this. It’s in beta testing and those who currently use Amazon Video on Demand were given opportunity to use this. I’m in the beta right now, and yes, the shows are $2.99. The selection was rather limited last I checked, and past seasons for most shows are not available in the beta. I hope that they expand it when it’s ready.
