You might want to rewrite this bit: "The whole experience kicks off when you fire up the iTunes store, and hit the 'Movies' link."

They're called "films" in the UK.

Insightful article there, Ol!ver. I'm all for high-definition content, what with a 24-inch iMac and a 32-inch HDTV. Having said that, I refuse to buy a BD Player and BDs when I can pick up a DVD of the movie for a quarter of the price. I do support digitally distributed HD content and even when Macs start shipping with a BD drive, I still wouldn't be picking up BD movies because by that time I am certain that we will have a HD option for downloading and renting movies outside of Apple TV.

£7 to buy a library title? Or head over to play.com and get it for £5 or less on DVD. I know which I prefer.
£3.49 and £2.49 also seem a little too high for rentals. I might give it a go, but a starting price of £1.49 would get a lot more people through the door.

Damn yeah... and Virgin Megastore or whatever they call themselves now (it's changed since I left the UK) do those 5 DVDs for 30 quid deals too. Hmm, I'm not sure this will work out so well for Apple this time.

Heheh yeah that's true. And you don't go to the 'movies' either... you go to the 'cinema'. How quaint.

Nah....when we used to call it 'The Flicks'....that was quaint!

Top stuff to see films on iTunes for the UK at last. Although I live abroad these days I still have a UK based credit card...so perhaps it's time for me to go pick up an TV too!

Prices look reasonable to me...same sorta price as hiring a film for Blockbusters or the like.

What is this 'flicks' business? I went to the silver screen when i was a lad, the flea pit we called it!
