iTunes now rent movies for UK

[Jericho]

I was speaking to a friend last night about this.

Its good, it wont be long before iTunes will be one of the best Movie Retailers in the world, or atleast in the US, like they are with Music.

The prices are good. People still think its 10 quid to rent, they need to read it first. 2pound (or something) to rent right, a newer movie?

But yeah, looks good. I wont use it as I prefer getting the movie extras on disk :< Im sad. But yeah, well done and good luck apple.

The prices are quiet good I mean what, £10 for I am Legend for example. Well I think there good anyway.

I bought it for £6 yesterday?

Oh wow! I just checked and it's £10.99, I got mine for £6 yesterday! Get in!

Or y'know you could just download the films in high definition and keep them forever by paying the low low price of £12~ a month for Giganews access.

Yes, but i don't think everybody has room for every movie to be 12GB.

Yes, but i don't think everybody has room for every movie to be 12GB.

Well listen to this. 1080p is the res 1920 x 1200, right? Or something like that. Only 24" monitors and above can support that kind of res. So thefore if you have anything below that, downloading 1080p would be pointless becuase you'd never see the full quality of the movie - it would just get scaled down so much you'd have big black lines above and below the image.

Also, they may be 720p movies but at 1.47GB.. god, the picture must be awful compared to a 5GB one.
