Amazon set to begin selling HD TV downloads for $2.99?

Amazon is hot on the heels of iTunes, apparently set to begin selling HD video downloads via Amazon Video On Demand in the next few days. NewTeeVee's Janko Roettgers did a few Google searches for Amazon VOD yesterday which mysteriously revealed an HD version of the TV show House, though a clickthrough brought him back to the download platform's homepage. So, it appears the Google spider managed to index some HD content that Amazon hasn't announced yet. The pricing for the expected HD downloads are pretty similar to iTunes. $2.99 for HD episodes and up to $53 for a complete season, which, if true, will undercut iTunes by a few bucks. Full seasons on iTunes cost $59 which in my honest opinion is a little too much considering a Blu-ray season package will cost you less in some cases.
