Things like this do make a nice case for owning an AppleTV... unless you're on the go, watching movies on the home theater is the only way to go.

A guerilla-distributed movie would probably fare better with guerilla-distribution pricing, no? $12.99 (the same pricing as a "big" film like Ratatouille) is probably going to be a tough sell for a film like this.
I imagine if/when this sells poorly that the studios will say (with glee), "See, online distribution doesn't really work."

Same boat here Peter (#3), one questions to all the posters... if I get my hands on some US iTune cards will I be able to use the American iTune store to buy stuff?...

This actually looks like a decent film, but I'd rather wait for the Blu-ray Disc (or at least a proper DVD).

I'm a big Ed Burns fan since the days of The Brothers McMullen. And I really want to support this film and his chosen distribution method. But $12.99 seems steep to me. $4.99, $6.99, $7.99 would have been a lot more palatable.
I may buy it anyway to watch on my iPhone.

Isn't this a chic flic? What dude is going to download a chic flic and watch it on his iPhone? Or laptop, or computer for that matter.
Cuddling on the couch in front of an iPhone/laptop isn't my idea of a good date. Yeah, sure you can watch it on TV with your Apple TV, but come on, give me a break.
If it were Transformers 2, then us guys could talk.

Well .. How'd it do ? Easy one click down load , came back in an hour and BaM ! No promos , no bull , clean . I enjoyed it . But I must admit I also just watched a episode of " talk to me " so I could be getting soft in my old age . As far as "chick flicks" go , this was one of the better done . It was nice to see four lucky lovables struggle through the tunnel of love . As sir Paul would say , " What's wrong with that ? " .

@4: Yes, if you have a US iTunes prepaid card, you can download from the US store. There isn't currently any restriction based on where you are physically located, unlike other download services (Xbox Live, most streamed media content from studios, etc.).
I agree that $12.99 is perhaps a little steep. I think a $9.99 price would have been a prime spot to premiere it at. Never the less, I did pony up for it and will enjoy it over a big bowl of popcorn on my Apple TV with the Mrs.

Not the first. Little indie film called "Rune" came out - "World Premiere" on the iPod last year. Bloggers and Hollywood Reporter and a few other big places wrote it up but Apple ignored it because it was too independent for them. You know, Apple used to be the little guy themselves, but apparently one taste of success and they forget where they came from. Too bad.

Watching teeny tiny actors on a teeny tiny screen is ridiculous. And Ed Burn people Burns, mister ego is living up to his self-love-hate rep by charging "$12.99." Wow what a deal! If the man were really smart, he'd charge a dollar and become a mega-millionaire, surpassing his already bulging BS chest. But oh well, the zombie pop-culture vampires have something else worthless to suck into their vapid pizza brains.
