Can anyone see the rental store yet? I downloaded 7.6, but it is still mysteriously absent.
I'm having the same problem. It's not going to be much good if no-one can find it.![]()
Am I reading this right? The movie will have been in Blockbuster and on Netflix for an entire MONTH before I can access it w/ an Apple TV?
iTunes is available for download now. Install it and report back about it to those of us who can't install it at the moment.
I'll be interested to see what "international" really is, and if "international" is just a few select countries in the EU.
Conclusion: Thumbs down. Apple, get your act together. What customers need is more movies and a subscription service. This expensive and restrictive rental scheme is not going to fly.
.
Cons: Ridiculously small window to watch the movie (24 hours).
I really hope Canada is included, and quickly. I'd definitely use this.
LOL! At $3 for the cheapest 24hr rental, the studios are shooting themselves in the foot. At $5 per HD rental, they are shooting themselves in the head.
And making Apple TV just as worthless as all the other online rental outfits, with the notable exception of Netflix, which for $17 flat fee per month offers a huge selection of delivered to your home DVDs (including HD-DVD and BR), plus 17 hours of actually pretty good quality streamed content.
The only viable model is either a reasonable flat rate subscription, or a much cheaper per movie download. Until the studios get this in their heads, Apple TV is a non-starter.
I think this time Apple is making a mistake. Their video strategy is flawed in my opinion ...This expensive and restrictive rental scheme is not going to fly.
When was it that the rest of the world was supposed to get movies again? Was it January 2007? or 2006?
All of us outside of the US, as usual, get to sit on the sidelines and watch...
looks like movie rentals are going live by the end of Feb ...not right now.
Hi,
has anyone seen movie rentals on the iTunes Store? I downloaded the update but can not see the rental option anywhere. Am I missing something?![]()
The 30-day after the DVD release wait is what kills this for me. I would have dumped Netflix and gotten an AppleTV instead. I don't get why media companies do this to themselves.
