Now, if only we could purchase movies in HD as opposed to simply renting in HD.
What about Canada???? Come on Apple why are we always left behind 🙁
because maybe our new president doesn’t want to do business with you. a shame i know. i have no problems with canadians, but you have to have alberta do something about their beer pricing a bit overboard ya say? not sure if its a countrywide problem.
Terminator 2 is by far one of the best action movies ever made. I’ll gladly buy it.
I heard it will be a collaboration with ABC…
Movie of the week…. 10 years ago.
Could the movies be any older? (actually, aren’t Karate Kid & St. Elmo’s Fire ’80s films?)
I rent movies, I rarely buy them. I think I own less than 10 DVD movies. I like the 99-cent rentals, and use that feature often (but not more than once a week I guess).
What about other countries?
The iTunes Store in many other countries (in particular European ones such as Belgum) still doesn’t carry movies!!!
Why does Apple need to go through complicated negociations with national author’s rights collecting agencies for shows/movies that are produces ELSEWHERE (e.g., in the US).
Can’t Apple compensate these authors and producers directly?
Wax on! Wax off!
