Neutrality? There's only one left!
And that's HD DVD.
What? Every new movie I buy is an HD DVD.
why would i even want to own them? Watch them once and im through with it...why own....
Instant gratification at its best...

1. Don't own Blu-ray player
2. Don't own high def television (but do have nice computer)
3. Convenience
4. Format neutrality
That said, those aren't compelling reasons to me either.
Didn't they already have hd rental before for an extra buck?

I'm waiting for the Apple TV update when Apple switches from 720p to 1080p before I waste my money on these.
I'm not paying an HD "upgrade" price.
You haven't been owning them. Cut the smugness.
Good news about HD purchases. I agree with the poster that says that Apple needs to offer VOD. Storing an average sizes collection of HD movies can't be done on any shipping Mac without adding an after market HDD or external drive.
I'm guessing it'll only work with HDCP compliant monitors/tvs/gpus, will have to wait and see on that one.
Oh yeah. BTW, blu-ray, you have just now become antiquated!!! It's just a matter of time before you're truly obsolete

that's practically the price of a bluray...
... Why would you pay for a hi-def download when you could get a better quality DVD?

This only the first trumpet as the battle begins. iTunes downloads are the Riders of Rohan charging against the hordes of Sauron on the plain in front of Minas Tirith.
Think Oliphaunts charging against the Riders after the Riders had beaten the snot out of the orcs (current disk 1080p offerings).
I guess now we can forget about ever seeing Blu Ray support on Apple computers.
Great point. The inclusion of DisplayPort in MacMini's and iMacs is probably the reason why Apple is now able to offer this.
I'm gonna read the fine print. This may be just for people with DisplayPort enabled Mac's.
