Apple Posts Quicktime Stream Of Event, Apple Store Down

Movies to be released same day as the DVDs, not before, according to CNBC.

12.99

 

[Goldfinger]

iLounge: most titles will be 9.99

 

[HecubusPro]

iLounge: Near DVD quality. Same encoding as TV shows at 640x480. If you have a 5mb/s broadband connection, it will take approximately 30 minutes to download a movie

Near DVD quality is good I supposed, but I was really hoping for HD content. Good DL speed though.

14.99. Wow. As rumored. That is terrible. There better be an incentive.

Save $2 for preorder, most movies $9.99.

[mactarkus]

My guess is yes since the screenshot looks exactly like Cover Flow.

Perhaps apple bought them out?

 

[iGary]

...here come the movies.

Bye iGary, it's been nice knowing you. Hopefully you'll leave all your Mac stuff to me and not Rob

So who is going to be the dumbass that pays $14.99 for a 640X480 movie???

Oh and Movies are 12.99 if pre-ordered or bought within the first week (like Walmart).
MOST movies are 9.99

 

[mactarkus]

So who is going to be the dumbass that pays $14.99 for a 640X480 movie???

 

[JoshH]

640x480 movies? Meh...

 

[Cougarcat]

So I take it the quality is worse than Amazon's? Bad, bad, bad.

 

[MattDell]

14.99. Wow. As rumored. That is terrible. There better be an incentive.

$12.99 if you preorder or buy within the first week. After that it's 14.99.


Most are $9.99


I think that's reasonable.
