By now you may have picked up on the fact that I like almost any technology that saves me time. Amazon has another shameless (and lazy) pleasure called Amazon Unbox that I use all of the time to download movies directly to my computer and TV.

Key Benefits to Helping Me Create a Balance

  • I don’t have to worry about losing the CD somewhere in my house.
  • I don’t have to plan when I want to rent a movie.
  • I don’t have to worry about the movie being sold out by the time I get to the store.
  • I can be spontaneous (I don’t have to wait two days to receive a movie in the mail).
  • I don’t have to worry about late fees.

I know other companies like Blockbusters and Netflix offer similar services, but I prefer Amazon Unbox because the movies I rent are digitally delivered directly to my TiVo inbox.

    I’ve use this service a lot. It’s definitely a fantastic lazy pleasure. I agree with your benefits – especially about not having to worry about misplacing the CD somewhere in your house.

    I downloaded Juno onto TiVo last night. Great time saving suggestion.
