I'm sure one reason Apple doesn't sell HD movies is just size. I downloaded a few movies, each being about 2 hours long. Each one was over a gigabyte. Even on a cable/dsl modem, that takes a while to download, not to mention what it's like for dial-up.
I share your sentiment. iTunes movies still seem a little pointless to me until they start to sell HD res movies. Especially withTV on the horizon. I can't image how awfull the iPod sized movies will look streamed via to a HDTV.
Until Apple start to sell HD movies, I won't be purchasing either movies or theTV, as I just don't see the point of the whole product release. However once they do - I'm heating up my credit card! lol
I am however, loving bigger catalogues, will no doubt push the release of HD movies - 720p at least.
lionsgate is by far my absolute favorite film company
all there films are twisted weird adult mind set titles
they are the ones who make saw, ju-on, total recall, stargate, terminator 2, crank, rambo first blood, american psycho, young guns, resivoir dogs
just to name a few
you are almost guranteed to never get a teen flick from lions gate
which is great
'The iTunes Store'? - I guess you mean the US iTunes store.
