    Cool thing about this, is that it's stackable with the previous freebies.

    I'm up to $11.00 now. :D

    Interesting, it showed up as cash, rather than as a free movie. Whatever works. ;)

    I actually use Amazon's Video on Demand for classes at times.

    Can we use these to purchase DVDs or only online? I have broadband but not sure if it is fast enough. Asking as I have $60 credit for Amazon VOD and have no clue to use them.

    I used the coupon and download Star Trek, but holy underwear, the quality is awful. So bad that I can't watch it because I don't know what I'm looking at. I guess it's only a matter of time before it's available on iTunes . . .

    Edit: I emailed Amazon and they got back to me - I had to disable DirectX acceleration and YUV mode and now it works fine. :)

    This is only for VOD. You just rent or buy the movie you want on amazon.com VOD, and either download it to your PC, or download it to your PC and play on your TV, or watch it on the web. When you order, it will automatically charge your account, or take off credit from your account if you have any.
