This is the best news I have heard in a long time!
I am one happy Dane right now. Now, let's get a wider selection and some High Definition.
Thank you, Apple.
Why bother when you can get monthly subscriptions with unlimited streamed movies and one disc hire at a time from companies like Love Film, all for the same price as one 24 hour rental from Apple?
- Because the streaming selection from LoveFilm is laughable, because the video quality of their streaming service is abysmal, because discs per mail order is not nearly as convenient as streaming, and because you can't get it for the same price as one 24 hour rental from Apple (at least not in Denmark). You can get it for the same price as three iTunes Movie rentals, though.
With this said, I agree that LoveFilm is a pretty good service, but the waiting and slowness just annoys me. In my experience, the capacity was 2 films per week, and that was because they were sent together.
What I experienced was: LoveFilm mails the films on Tuesday (for some reason they refused mailing them on Monday), I receive them on Wednesday, I watch them on Wednesday, I return them on Thursday, LoveFilm receives them on Friday, and sends new ones Tuesday the next week (because their offices are closed during the weekend).
It's just too slow.
Is it any different in the UK?
