One Million Videos sold on iTMS

When will Lost be available in the UK to buy?

I'm with #1 here: I'm a little disappointed it's mostly music videos, especially since a good chunk of those are usually available as free downloads from bands' sites.

interesting -- but the the over exuberence as reflected in the buzz and especially the stock price is completely overdone on this. http://thomashawk.com/2005/10/apple-sells-1-million-videos.html

I would be interested in seeing the figures for the UK only - I think the iVideos are horribly overpriced here. Maybe it's just me, but, music videos always seem very throw-away (irrespective of a ludicrous budget) not worth much more than a quid a pop.

Jacob, I think you nailed it. $4.95 would be a GREAT price for features. People will still gripe about the size of the files. What my prediction is, Apple will release an OFFICIAL iPod video instead of an iPod that does video with a resolution that is in between the current size video and standard def DVDx. The iTMS would sell both versions of the video, larger for the iPod videos and the smaller for iPod that can do video. How many of us watch Family Guy episodes smaller then 720x480 at full-size on your 20 inch Apple monitors? Anyone? Any takers?

I wonder though, why so many people bought the tv shows. Perhaps I'm just of the bittorrent culture here in non-english speaking europe where we have no other distribution of american/brit media that isn't at least a season late. Lost has been a HUGE hit in France even though it hasn't been distributed on TV or cable.

TV studios have the proof they needed about whether the TV episode sales would work. I'm sure NBC, FOX and others will be on iTunes by January. If SJ can get disney and pixar to agree to put all the Pixar movies on there, that would be a great start. Movie studios need proof that it will work. But what would be the right price? 4.95?

This is encouraging, though I wish more TV shows had been sold. That way, Apple could turn to the networks and demonstrate that a good number of people are willing to make those purchases
