iTunes UK gets rentals

anyone having trouble viewing the trailers? when i play it, it plays for approx. 10 seconds then cuts out and disappears. does this with every trailer i try to play..

That's actually much less flexible. But the prices are more in line with what a rental is worth to me. These are priced just about the level I'd consider, even with the convenience factored in.

Thank-god we get an extension of the 24 hour period that the states get, it makes the service far more usable and almost justifies the extra price over America and despite what people see the HD rentals look amazing. The time difference is enough to get me to stop using the US store and return to the UK store, at least for movies.

I thought the UK price would have been £9.99 for normal movies and £12.99 for new releases.

still dearer than US, but the £ is stronger than the $

"Microsoft did this earlier and much better on Xbox 360. "

Yep, wouldn't be a iTunes story without the requisite Xbox360 fan chiming in :p

You know, I'm happy for you, really. I have an Xbox, and its a fun game machine. But I don't spam every game forum or video forum about how its the greatest thing since sliced bread. This is just a simple story about the UK getting the iTunes store, not a streaming video pissing match.

We want movies in Ireland too, Apple don't forget about the other country in Europe that also speaks English and wants to watch US shows.

I personally don't mind the price of the rentals- not much different to popping down to Blockbusters, only without the walking. I don't think I'll be buying any films though- if I want a film to keep, I'd rather buy it on Blu-ray.
The only problem I can see with rentals is they do NOT show up on Front Row, which is a slight pain when I normally use FR when I connect my Macbook to my plasma. Strange how you can watch your bought films on it, but not the rentals. This has already been mentioned in the Apple forums with nothing resolved.

Drat - now I need to buy an AppleTV. Oh, and I'll also need to buy a new TV. Time to start thinking about what I can do to get the wife to agree to this...

Yay, movies on Canada iTunes as well! Finally!

$5 dollars for a rental is pretty good. Especially considering I can watch it anywhere like my iPod Touch or MacBook.

As far as buying...20 dollars is pretty ridiculous. That's near the cost of a DVD, without the extra features.

Do I have to reset my Apple TV or something to see the rental titles? Or do I have to rent in iTunes then sync to the Apple TV? There's no options on Apple TV right now - I've checked for a software update but it says I'm up to date.
