Is there a way currently to assign where the amazon button looks for a movie on the web?  If not I would like to maybe have the amazon button re-iconed as a store button or another icon button for marketplace/store and allow the user to decide where it points to.

Why would/should the Amazon button point to anything but the amazon page for that item?

That is why I made mention of a secondary button on the toolbar or re0uconing the current button to marketplace or the like.

Since Ken gets credit for the purchase, when using the Amazon icon, it wouldn't make any sense for him to add something that would point to a different store.  Can't your request be done using the custom links?

Can't I make I request even if it is going to be something you are not interested in?

Of course you can.  And you have done it publicly and made it available for scrutiny.  Perhaps a groundswell of support will show up later.

As for me...ditto to what the Martian said.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

Yes, of course you can but, by the same token, can't I ask questions in an attempt to understand what it is you are asking for?  I don't know whether or not I would be interested as I don't understand exactly what it is you are looking for.

This is something I can answer.  Both of us are somewhat relics around here and remember many builds of this software.  When I first started there was a heading in the toolbar called marketplace/shop.  I do not remember the exact name it has been too many years.  When you clicked on a movie and then did the drop down it gave you a list of two or three sellers of the movie.  I am asking for a cross between this and what we have now.  We have the Amazon button which shows the movie and the Amazon price only.  As I buy a lot through Amazon but not everything I have to go out to other places to find out about price drops.  Therefor, I am interested in either a new marketplace button that allows me to see a couple of different sellers or have the ability to set the links to custom so I can point them to where I am intending on buying from.  Amazon is great but is not all inclusive.
