Amazon VOD goes HD Amazon has announced that fans of the company's Video on Demand service will now be able to rent and purchase high definition movies and TV shows to playback on their PCs, or devices from Roku, TiVo, Sony and others.

New release HD movies will cost $3.99 to S4.99 USD to rent, and HDTV shows can be purchased for $2.99 USD.

As of writing, over 500 HD TV episodes and movies are available from major studios and broadcasters.
