Most likely from the USA then, since they were one of the first to get them like always. =]

You're missing out the point that you can buy them too now. Also, I think the price is OK, however I think renting is pointless cos why pay half the amount the film would actually be to only see it a couple of times? I'd rather pay full and keep it forever.

Wrong I think, I saw on MacRumors or somewhere they we only get 48 hours to start watching it and finish it.

America get their films for a fiver. We get them for £7!

I very much doubt you can crack them, it'll be DRM and encrypted to a high standard. Can you put movie rentals on your iPod? And surely providing you don't sync your iPod for a while, you could rent a movie and have it on your iPod for ages? The renting prices are good it's just a shame the two films I want to see are 'Buy' only

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

Wow I'd rather just download unison and d/l them in hd from Giganews.

Whats wrong with you people? Its really cheap. Blockbuster charge like £4 for all films, £2.50s cheap by comparison and its much easier to get them. You can also buy the films for like £7 if they are older releases and I think its £10 if they are new. Im testing this out with 300 tonight.
