This is meaningless to those of us in Japan, because the "service is unavailable in your country."
Have to agree, if there are commercial breaks, then its just another TV channel without the TV. might as well just watch it on cable or rent it.

i wonder if they will remove the 10 minute restriction on length of video uploads.. hard to find other sites that offer over 10mins.. googlevideo being the most obvious/only(?).. but they are shutting that down now and concentrating on youtube

um, hate to burst the media industry bubble, but if you can view it, you can record it too! Thanks for the free downloads

Great You tube-Google,way to go.
Great idea also on how to pay for them too via public adverts/public spending power money on advert products.

ugh...sounds like we're going to get full length movies with lots of commercial breaks. Might as well as turn on the TV.
