I prefer CD Universe myself over Amazon.

Already happening with their instant video. I bought Hunger Games Blu-Ray/DVD/Ultraviolet combo and as soon as the transaction cleared, the purchased version was in my Amazon library. Very nice.

It will be interesting to see how this gets implemented for non-US customers. I can buy CDs from Amazon and they will ship them to me here in Australia, but I can't buy MP3 versions of the same CDs. The terms of service say US only for MP3 purchases.
