Following in the wake of my last online DVD rental diatribe (half way down) comes new rumblings from Amazon. Apparently they have job postings for programming positions specifically for an online DVD rental service. Despite the fact that Amazon already has online DVD rental services in the UK and Germany, Wired News feels okay with predicting a U.S. offering:

When asked specifically about a U.S. launch for a DVD rental service,
[Amazon spokesperson Jani] Strand was cagey.

"We feel like it is a business that we are positioned to do and do well," said Strand. "We are looking for ways to create a better shopping experience for the customer, so stay tuned."
In the same 24-hours, Blockbuster has raised the price of the monthly fee of it's own online DVD rental service: from $14.99 to $17.99 for the 3-movies-out-at-a-time package.
