Best Buy is rolling out their new video hosting network, similar to YouTube, only with Best Buy’s service you must pay a subscription fee for hosting videos.  Each video posted can be up to 30 minutes long.

I wonder why people would be willing to pay for for Best Buy’s video service when they can host videos on YouTube for free.  Granted, 30 minutes of video is significantly longer than what you can do with YouTube, but I’d rather post shorter videos with no fees.  We will have to wait and see if Best Buy can truly compete with Google-owned YouTube.
