Apple's '12 Days of Gifts' App Kicks Off with Justin Timberlake iTunes Festival EP

[croooow]

...I'm hoping we get a movie - that I don't already own, even if it's a bad movie like RIPD... Don't know why people are wasting everyone's time complaining. What did you expect $50 Gift Certificates?.

not gonna happen, been using this app for about 4 years

This is my first time, and first day (been off the grid for a few days) using the app and my first gift is a Martin Scorsese film? That is pretty cool for a freebie! It may not be the best Scorsese movie, but I already own his best work.

Hugo is Today's Gift!

Awesome, got exactly what I was a hoping - a movie that I don't already own (and I have a large collection), not only that but a great movie!

So, never purchased a movie from iTunes before...did the Digital Download, but I can't watch the iTunes Extras on my Apple TV??

Crazy.

Yep the no iTunes Extras thing on AppleTV drives me nuts, that and if you rent an iTunes movie on your MBP (because it's "easier"), it won't play on an AppleTV. How retarded is that?

So far this sucks - everything is for kids.

Hugo is not "for kids" but it is family friendly there is a difference. It is a really good film. Apple isn't going to give away World War Z or Carrie

I missed Day 3 but in the US it is not "for Kids" either: Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2014

That kinda "defeats" the whole iCloud thing. I thought I heard someone mentioned this a while back and didn't understand. I figured, surely that can't be what I heard. wow.

Those two things should be fixed by now.

Day 6 is quite dissapointing for me after the movie from day 5.
For NZ there is Avicii's New Year's Eve mix (single).

 

[morningsong]

My phone is my only iOS7 device, and I don't have the space for the download....is there a way to get this to my iTunes library?

Added to the list. Also free in US, Canada (different link) and UK. Thanks for all the up-votes, the list is now clearly visable from the story on the home page for people visiting this site.

Go Dance is also free in US, Canada and UK but I don't know if that is the Day 6 gift for those countries or just a free game. If you get offered Go Dance by the 12 Days of Gifts app, please could you post a comment here.

I haven't tried it (both of my active iOS devices at at 7) but you should be able to purchased it with your phone running iOS 7 but do not download it, it should be available on your other devices and iTunes in your purchased movies area.

Yes, just open itunes on the computer you want to download to, and find the you are downloading (Home Alone/Hugo). It should say Free. Click to download.

The 12 days app is just a pointer, you don't need it to download the 'gifts'.

Things of interest to no one at all in the house = 4

Stinks today's freebie was free yesterday. Lame as I was hoping for a surprise. Or even a new download. Now I get neither.
