Best Buy To Offer A Paid YouTube Clone?
from the but-why? dept
Best Buy may have been able to trick people over its fake website, unwanted MSN subscriptions and impossible to obtain rebates, but can it also fool people into believing you need to pay Best Buy to host your home video clips online? Apparently the company thinks so. It's unveiling its own "alternative to YouTube" for customers to host their home videos. The only catch? While YouTube is free, Best Buy's offering will $7 for 100 minutes worth of video hosting. Considering that Best Buy's prices are rarely your actual best buy, perhaps the company has just settled into the fact that its sweet spot is in serving the uninformed customer who doesn't seem to mind paying for what's free elsewhere.Filed Under: video sharing
