The Wing Commander movie up for download at Amazon.com Unboxed has been a big hit, and the company is now rolling out several updates for the service. These fixes mostly resolve intermittent glitches, but fans will also have more options for starting the Unboxed program too. Shoppers who bought the movie just after it debuted on the service received a $1.99 discount on the purchase, and Amazon has announced that these early adopters have now gotten a second $1.99 rebate credited to their account for their next Unboxed buy. Start downloading now! The full version of Wing Commander is 1.2 gigabytes. An edition for portable players comes in at 500 megs.

Electronic Purchase - $9.99
Electronic Rental - $3.99

Wow, expensive - the DVD's a penny cheaper and you get a nice disc to sit on your shelf. Now, the $1.99 discount makes it much cheaper, so it's not as bad, but still.

That, and the need for the Unbox software to call home everytime you restart your computer...

Expensive... or a really cheap new way to own Wing Commander?

The price will probably drop eventually.
