Wow, Apple have secured the rights to distribute content produced in the last century.
If ever there was an argument for variable pricing, this was it.
South Park and Jongleurs are about the only things that I've found that are a) worth getting and b) not already in my collection.
Colour me unimpressed (not least at the continued overpricedness of it all).

I didn't realise they were offering B5, but sure enough, there it is. $40/season for heavily compressed, low-resolution video with no extras, subtitles or alternate languages or $40 a season for DVDs I can rip and encode however I want, and which I can loan to friends, resell or play on ANY DVD player. Decisions, decisions...

At least you get something, here in Australia we are still floundering around at the 'Music Videos' level!

Lucky Brits have Wallace & Gromit. I just ran to the US store to see if they were there, to no avail.

Way to go Apple (or Record Labels, as the case may be and probably is). Jetsons? Flintstones? What planet are you people on (and more importantly, what year is it there?)
It's ZML.com for me until my iTunes store gets movies and/or you stop creating DVDs that I can't shift onto my ipod.

I can understand if you are confused as to what year - I mean, Flintstones in the stone-age and Jetsons in the distant future ... it does get your brain-a-working!
On the note of the costing more than the US - It seems to me that if you subtract our tax of 17.5% then we are paying on a par (well, close to) with what the US guys & gals spend.

The problem is for the price of one episode I can go down to my local video shop and hire the DVD, with multiple episodes
A more legal move would be to buy it - still cheaper than itunes (but note that it's still illegal to rip a CD/DVD into itunes in the UK.. not that most of the population (a) realize, or (b) care).
Give me a monthly subscription for unlimited rentals and I'd go for it.. that's what Amazon/Lovefilm/Tesco etc. are doing and it's a good deal. Per episode doesn't make any sense at all at those prices.

yeah what is going on apple? There's barely anything in the uk store. If there was some worthwhile stuff on there like simpsons/futurama ,and some classic stuff like blackadder, black books etc. etc; that was worth buying (the kind of stuff you'd keep becuase you'd watch it more than once) then I'd download loads, but there's barely anything.
I'm just hoping that the new series of doctor-who will be put up when it comes out, seen as torchwood is up.
on that note, I've been trying to find a legal mp4 tv/movie site but they seem non existent... does anyone know of one?
All I can find is dodgy ones and sites complaining about people not using legal ones.... which don't seem to exist so is it no wonder?
