Apple Gives UK The Talkies

Finally, after I think is somewhere between 12 - 18 months Apple has announced the release of the iTunes Film Rental for the UK. There is going to be 700 films available from the kickoff (I just love choice) and you can rent a film starting from £2.49 (for older releases) and £3.99 (for new releases). Films can be purchased for £6.99 for older releases and new releases its £10.99.

I think that the purchase price is way too high considering that many DVD’s can be bought for £9.99 (albeit in a single disc format) and to be honest I don’t really buy films unless I really really want one. I suppose Apple guess most people will rent them, I don’t know how that compares to a physical store I rent my films online using Tesco DVD Rental which I find to be an expectional service.

I will be trying this out tonight if its available and let you know what I think
