Apple Celebrates 10 Years of iTunes Movies With $10 Movie Bundles

[BJMRamage]

I am contemplating. I don't really want any of the bundles. I only want 1 title from each and a few bundles I already have 1, or more, of the titles and then there are some (The Judge) that are good but do i want to watch it again?

I have a similar dilemma about buying movies now. I tend to buy a lot for the kids or maybe pick up classics or movies I like and have on DVD or Bluray. but when i see a sale, I can get excited but then hesitate because these aren't title i am so eager to have.

I have kids and try to pop a movie on every once in a while after they go to bed but what movies do i really "need" although $1 a movie isn't bad, even $2 or $3 if you have some or don't want some isn't bad....

Why not?

Because it's poop. WB has way better examples of superheroes movies.

Hopefully Bugs Bunny is one of those on your superhero list.

Really wish I could build my own bundle from the movies they singled out. The lions gate 1 bundle is tempting but ruined by Twilight.

I bought that bundle anyway, Just Yesterday my son was telling me about Now You See Me which was $12 by itself, I'm also kind of interested in a couple of others so why not for $10

Paramount and Universal have the best ones in my opinion. Lots of movies I wanted to see on them too! 20 movies for $20 - I like it! Feels a little like Black Friday, lol.

Thanks, Apple!

 

[Mackinjosh]

LOL these bundles are awful.

This would be REALLY enticing if they weren't selling these in 720p. That's a deal breaker.

 

[RichTeer]

Have you seen the regular iTunes movie prices? They don't really do good deals anywhere.

Agreed; in my experience the best way to get iTunes movies is by redeeming the code that comes with Blu-ray discs.

 

[2010mini]

Hopefully Bugs Bunny is one of those on your superhero list.

Seriously??? The entire Nolan Batman series is 1000x better. V for Vendetta, Watchmen, RED... heck even The Losers was better.

How does everyone find discounted iTunes films? I check the FoxConnect Movie of the Day app every day, other than that, it seems impossible to know what has been discounted.

Movie of the Day app (available for AU, CA, GB, US, etc): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id987008789

Which ones were you looking at? The one I bought (With Contagion, The Hangover, etc) was in 1080p.

Yep. The US even gets this huge FREE concert from Apple every year! Oh wait, that's in London...

Well... at least we get that "Lucky Bag" thing here around the new year... What? Nope, I forgot, that's in Japan.

Apple does lots of promotions all over the world. Get over it.

Australia?

I would have liked to pick up all the bundles just because they're cheap. But I also have a 4K TV and don't want to have to rebuy when the Apple TV 4K comes out. I wish Apple would give us guidance if there will be an upgrade to 4K option/fee, similar to how Sony's store allows you to pay to upgrade. It's not like 4K is a secret.

As it stands, I'll probably be cautious and hold off.

They're all in 1080p. I guess you forgot to set the full HD option in iTunes.

Ummm.... there are actually some people in England who live outside London. This Movie package is available to anyone living anywhere in the United States. Your comparison does not hold up.

 

[NufSaid]

It is a great deal but for me it was $10 for 10 movies I don't want.

Not complaining just stating that none of them were attractive to me.

 

[pjarvi]

My own collection of movies is at 1,000 titles now, or 1/85th the size of Apple's catalog, I am pleased with myself.

I used to buy movies on iTunes, in fact my movie collection there is 342, ultimately I got tired of the lock-in and stick with buying Blu-ray and doing my own DRM-free backups. Also, I rarely pay more than $5-$8 for a Blu-ray, so it costs less other than maintaining a file server to store it all.

Go here to see new TV and movie deals every day:

This would be good had they actually put a lot of good movies in these bundles and grouped them with some logic. instead it's like someone cleaned out the attic for a yard sale and randomly threw whatever junk they found in a series of boxes.

London is in England which is in the UK which makes it not qualified for the iTunes movie bundles at this time. The Apple Music festival is in London which is in England which is in the UK which means that anyone without a UK address is not eligible for the FREE concert. If someone in the UK can't get a FREE ticket then they have to subscribe and PAY for Apple Music just to watch from their device. UK residents can still get the movies, just not at the reduced or bundled rate. As a NON UK resident I have absolutely no shot at the FREE Apple Music Festival except to subscribe and PAY! Cheers

Australia?

Obvious: you guys get every device launched there FIRST! Apple graces you with the ability to snag an iPhone/iPad before the rest of the world on launch day ;-)

I'm not going to exhaustively list every little promotion around the world. I was simply stating that they do "spread the love" a bit more than people around here give them credit for...

Anyone else having issues connecting to the iTunes store? I can access the music section, but the movie & tv sections won't load on eith my iPhone or iPad.

It is going extremely slow for me. So slow that one of the six bundles I purchased did not sow as being bought. I bought it again, now it shows a being purchased twice.

Is there a list of the bundles anywhere besides in the actual iTunes store? Would love to see what they're offering, but since I can't get into the store....

I was expecting the selection to be terrible but this is actually a great deal.
