Amazon.com Cuts Some TV Show Prices to 99 Cents
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) cut the price on some downloaded TV shows to 99 cents from $2.99 in the wake of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) announcement Wednesday it will begin streaming some shows for 99 cents.
Amazon’s new prices affect more than 260 shows from the Walt Disney Co.’s (DIS) ABC, News Corp.’s (NWS) Fox, and the BBC, matching a similar selection promised by Apple when it unveiled a new Apple TV device. Unlike Apple, which plans to rent videos, Amazon allows users to purchase the videos to own.
