Alan, a former Amazon employee, read the story posted here last night and did some more digging. Alan is an expert on Amazon.com's Web Services platform and was able to discover an incredible amount of information about the product -- including a link to the Amazon Video Player, which I was able to download (but didn't work on my computer I got it working by removing beta .Net 2.0).
I discovered this by first reading a post over on HackingNetflix.com, about the digital video. I looked at this cached Google page, and noticed the browse node for Digital Video was "16261631". Then I Googled for "amazon" and "16261631", and found these results for browsenodes.com - an automated way for Amazon Webservices folks to find and use browse node IDs. They even have nice links straight into Amazon, which is how I found all of this.
Here's the main page for Amazon "Unbox Video:"
It looks like TV shows are priced at $1.99, and many of the movies are priced at $9.99.
You can get all of the details and view additional screenshots on his website: Kokogiak.
