Sears announces Alphaline Entertainment online movie streaming service

Someone at roxio needs a raise, they created cinema now, dumped it on BestBuy now this dumped on Sears. make money without having to compete.

“What do you think? Does Sears stand a chance against Amazon, Netflix, and the like?”

I had to read that a few times to make sure I read that correct. Are we all aware that Apple holds greater than 80% market share on digital media in the US and 65%+ worldwide? We all know this correct because it is indeed fact.

Funny none the less. Good luck sears. Instead of $0.99 rentals you can do “Bluelight” rentals. Since I am going to charge you a buck for each stream it looks like a losing venture from start to finish.

Not at the prices listed. I’m not willing to pay 3 to 4 dollars to rent a movie when I can get it from Netflix or Redbox for much less (and I don’t use Redbox). A digital copy for the price of a physical DVD? Absurd. But I know P.T. Barnum was right. I’ve never heard of Alphaline. I don’t see it.

Does anyone know if there is any reason why this online streaming from sears would or wouldn’t be possible for viewers in Europe? Anything to do with the NTSC or PAL systems or anythink like that?
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you in advance. Peter

Another lost venture by a fading retail giant.

“Retail giant Sears isn’t the first company that comes to mind when you think about digital movie downloads”

exactly – then why the hell are they doing it in the first place?
unless they are offering something that is extremely different from what is already out there – this will fail

Is this a joke? Sears is for Tires and Tools. Time to short some stock…

Just closed down. The reason nobody noticed was probably because nobody was using it. Just guessing.
