Starting September 10, Amazon Unbox
customers will be able to download pilot episodes of NBC‘s newest shows. The really sweet part of this? Customers won’t have to pay a cent for these pilots.
The pilots that will be available are for the new shows Bionic Woman, Chuck, Journeyman and Life With Amazon Unbox TV shows can be watched on a PC or through TiVo (if you have one).
After you watch the pilot, however, if you want to watch the new episodes, they’ll be available the day after they air on NBC and you’ll have to pay for them. When the TV show’s season is over, you can purchase the entire season to be able to watch it anytime you wish.
Amazon Unbox will feature the following NBC shows: The Office, Heroes and 30 Rock. In addition, content will be for sale from USA Network, SCI FI Channel, Telemundo, Bravo, NBC News, NBC Sports and mun2.
The offer from NBC on Amazon Unbox is likely a retaliation against iTunes after NBC and Apple had a bit of a fight.
