Movies are very different from music. Not offering rentals is a major mistake. People watch most movies once. Only a handful of movies are wroth purchasing. Unlike with music where you are getting a near-perfect version of a CD, with movies consumers are getting a far inferior version of a DVD, and for not much of a discount. The market remains wide open for a Mac/Windows movie rental/buying service. I think Steve finally made a major product/pricing blunder. Movies are very different from music.

People get all super hyped up before an Appl event and then are completely disappointed! Gee, never seen THAT before! :P Come on... I think the announcements were awesome. The only thing that I don't like is that they're still ignoring widescreen. The iPod needs to be 16x9 and the tv/movie downloads need to be 16x9 also. I also think there should be movie rentails, so you could pay say $3 and be able to watch the movie any amount of times within say 48 hours. There arent many movies that I want to own outright, so I wouldnt be using this service. The iTV was surprising but is very cool, especially the price point. I currently have an HTPC that I would replace in a heartbeat with that thing. I just really hope that it has a DVD drive, I didnt see any details about that. Hmm, imagine that!
