Amazon
Prime already threatens the media and entertainment world, with its free
streaming of 41,000 movies and TV episodes and over 350,000 free Kindle books. You pay an annual fee that averages out to
peanuts per month, per item consumed.
Throw in free shipping on 15,000,000 items and you realize that all
media is in trouble.
Recently,
a new service debuted, Playster All-Media, which has not yet been adopted on a
wide scale, but it’s only a matter of time for it or something like it to
dominate along with Amazon.
Playster
offers a variety of media for $24.95 per month – books, movies, TV, video games
and music. Or you can do individual
media plans, such as books for $9.95 a month.
If you sign up for a year they’ll ship you a free HD tablet with
headphones.
The
all-you-can-eat mania is an awful model for the media but it looks like it has
some sticking power. We’re a monthly
economy already. We have cable, phone, Internet, and other things that get paid
on a monthly basis. Why wouldn’t
consumers add a service that allows them to download tons of
music-books-movies?
Media
companies need to stop participating in such schemes. They will put themselves out of business
otherwise.
