Apple Rolls Out iTunes Movie Bundles

[hobbes1st]

And why is this better than Netflix streaming or delivering a disc to my door?

The prices are still too high. I personally wouldn't even consider buying a digital download movie until they are priced $5.99 or less in HD. As long as physical copies are available, I would always prefer a physical copy. Though, hit that $5.99 price for a 1080p download and I'm game.

I saw these the other day. Good deals! Now if only we could get 1080p HD and iTunes Extras on everything with same day as DVD release and 48 or 72 hour rental!!! That is the one thing that bugs me about my Apple TV is the stupid studios playing different games on each title!

I'll stick to my (bag of hurt) Blu-ray discs and the PS3 but nice try anyway Apple.

i would rather own the ones i want (BD) otherwise they go on the netflix.

Nice try, but I am still not buying movies from iTunes.

The cost of one movie will buy me a Netflix subscription for like 3 months!

Lol I learned that lesson the hard way.

Pretty smart idea, setting Apple back at the top of the media selling mountain..

Theres very few films i have bought from iTunes, mainly older ones that were really cheap anyway, but i like using the rental option they have. Yes £3.50 is a lot for new releases but theres plenty of titles over a year old that are only £2.50.

£3.50 for new titles isn't that bad for me because i very rarely buy films anyway as most of them are a let down nowadays, and i don't often watch films over and over again.

Star Trek was recently reviewed on Arstechnica (I think it was Ars) specifically because of the extra content. The review found that it offered nothing new and less than the DVD.

re: Godfather bundle

I thought it was funny they made sure not to include "Godfather Part 3" in the bundle. That one sucked so bad compared to the first two.

Actually, for a classic set of films like those, I would think it might justify buying the Blu-Ray disc version they've got out now.

That's awesome. I'd buy the Godfather bundle.

Oh wait, that's right, no captions or subtitles.

Nevermind.
