If I can rent/download for about the same price as the store that's one more reason I won't have to get off my big fat aaass.
Now if Apple expands a back catalogue as quickly as they stock new titles I'll be sorted on the screen-entertainment front. (The back catalogue being a lot cheaper to rent, of course.)

How often do you watch a movie? Do you want the boxes hanging around collecting dust? Most people don't, I think you'll find. Even for the same price.
Illegal or not, you'd really charge a friend? Do you 'rent' out your CDs to friends, too (passing on their payments to the artist, of course)?

Not to sound like an arrogant ass, but why is this on the front page? This is hardly news... and I'm also confused as to why people are so amazed by it. What makes rentals so much more appealing than buying the movie? 1 or 2 views for a few bucks vs. having it for good and paying a few bucks more... seems strange to get excited about rentals.

...I know this can't be true, but how cool would it be to allow the users to rent out the videos they have purchased ? Seems silly at first, but let's say I buy a video from the iTunes store at $15 and my friend at work wants to "borrow" it. Maybe he can do it legally for 30 days and for about $2. If you could make money by renting out the videos you bought on iTunes, wouldn't you be more likely to buy iTunes movies? (I'm sure this is impossible legally, but still something to make you go "hmmm")
