They can keep them. Blu-ray all the way.
I use a dial-up 56k modem. Will this be an issue?
It'll only take a couple of weeks to download, thats all......
Also beat me to it... SO many Irish people on here I never knew
Annoys me every time another European market gets iTunes stuff that we don't
The Panel would be great on iTunes... though it's free on RTÉ if we use crappy Realplayer...
Very pricey. The UK seems to be charged a premium just for being the UK!!!
We all wish, but it probably wont happen any time soon.
Oh and... by the way... as far as I know EU is a single market according to EU law. There is no way Apple or anybody else can hinder let's say an Irish citizen to buy anything in, let's say, the UK in any store (and there is no reason why iTunes store should be some exception). Someone should finally sue Apple about their practice to make them realize what the law says, so that they finally stop treating EU countries as separate markets only available to each country's citizens.
No, you misunderstand me, I already use Blu-ray - yes I'd like my mac to do it too, but if it doesn't it doesn't, it's not going to make me use HD downloads anytime soon, they are overpriced, lower quality, tied to one manufacturer's hardware, don't have all the extra you get with Blu-ray discs and most importantly are simply unfeasible an impractical for many people until the internet infrastructure is there. Now perhaps most of those issues are not actually Apple's fault, but that's the way it is.
I paid £29.99 for Lost series 4 on Blu-ray, got it sent on day of release... I can wait for season 5 on Blu-ray too. The pricing alone is a farce, but all the other stuff I mentioned makes it no-go for me too.
I'm happy for anyone lucky enough to have a super-fast connection, no bandwidth limits and a willingness to pay over the odds for less content and lower quality for the sake of convenience though, good luck to them.
Come on people... Anyone who uses his/her brain just a little bit is going to activate a US iTunes store account, as the US store is cheaper than any other country's one. Then, if no one buys at the other stores, Apple/studios will have to understand that there is absolutely no reason for charging people different prices at different places (and that people are not so stupid to pay more than necessary).

£2.50 for one hour (or less!!!) of HD TV ?
You have got to be joking. Do they think we are mugs ? What a ripp off ?
They can shove it up their *&!@'s !
Wow...I had no idea. I'm glad I'm in the US.

And they'll get color TVs in UK next year!![]()
