Movie links appear on German QuickTime page
The evidence continues to mount. Several eagle-eyed readers have spotted the images and links depicted at right on the Quicktime page of Apple's website for Germany. Of course, the links aren't working for me right now (clicking them just brings up the "It's Showtime" message), but they do begin with the familiar "phobos.apple.com..." address. Some of you have argued that these are for soundtracks, but the title of the column is "iTunes Videos." I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.If you're in a country that has not yet had television and/or videos in iTunes and you find such a link on your respective country's Apple site, please let us know!
Thanks to everyone who sent this in

Well, if you check the URL of the links they state "Movie Trailers" .. which have been in the iTMS forever...

Hmmm... Didn't we (Europe et al.) have trailers before? These seem like trailers to me. 'Videos' doesn't equate to 'Movies' in German as far as I know.

Please note that the box says "Videos" and above this box, there is another box saying "Film-trailer".
So i don't think it's trailers! :)

Those have been there for a while - they are just trailers. Sometimes get music videos showing on the list instead.

No if you roll your mouse over those links, in the middle of the URL that it displays in the status bar are the words "Movie+Trailers". There's nothing new there. Just trailers.

"iTunes Video" links to same address as "altri video musicali" (more music videos) on the italian page, so I don't think this is something related to movies.

For those who don't use/look at the status bar, all those links are trailers.
For Example
The link for Transporter 2 is:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/inboundRedirect?omni-ch=Store+Front&omni-pg=Movie+Trailers&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fmoviesxml%2Fh%2Findex.xml
That "Movie+Trailer" part goes to the movie trailers section of the iTMS

If they're movies than they wouldn't be square would they? Those are the CD album covers for the soundtracks. Unless Apple is redefining the movie cover format I don't believe we are seeing actual feature length films there.
