That's an awful price considering I could just rent from Redbox for $1 or even FREE. Even Netflix is an option. We all know there are other ways to get video to your iPod than through the iTunes Store.

We've never offered a rental model in music because we don't think people don't want to rent music.
Try reading that really slow outloud

That's some kinda triple-double price mark-up. Oh wait, this is itunes, that's why.
This will be a worthless service which will no doubt be extremely popular due to all these companies making it so difficult to find out how to use the truly functional features of their devices/media.

um spam attack...
and yeah, this service is a little too high priced. Maybe if there were like a "rent one, get one free," sort of deal it'd be worth it.
Also, my questions are what is the video quality and how fast are the download rates? Or is it streaming?

tom123-
Not only is your post painful to read it has nothing to do with apple. I can't believe your trying to advertise in a news article; unless you have permission from a mod I would suggest editing your post.
On the topic of apple does anyone actually watch a movie on their iphone? The same thing goes for psp, it's a cool option but I personally would get a headache or go cross-eyed from staring at a screen that small for a long period of time.
That's a lot of money for renting one movie but I guess that's the price of convenience.

And everybody will lose eh? more greed.. I can go to my local library and rent these same films on dvd for £1.50 for 7 days.. read my lips apple.. 7 days!
Hi borhan.. long live TPB where films are free, and vuse where streamed HD content is also free. The genie is out of the bottle.. they can't cram it back in now..
Will downloading these films take uk subscribers over their monthly download quotas, and could they be seen as pirate copyright content (I assume as part of the drm they will be encrypted) Buyer beware all ways you look at it.
