Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Tunes Movie Rentals launches today in the U.S. International will launch later this year. Software updates for iPods and iTunes will be forthcoming

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link

s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link

the cry of the recent hd-dvd purchaser

well, not so recent, but this is exactly correct and I'm not particularly ashamed of my sour grapes in this case.

Eric H., Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:44 (sixteen years ago) link

buy and rent direct from apple with it, no computer required

Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:44 (sixteen years ago) link

s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Apple TV Take 2. No computer required. Rent movies on Apple TV. DVD quality AND HD + Dolby 5.1

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link

"No computer required"
This was U+K

stet, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Podcasts = audio and video

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link

purchases can sync back to mac this was also U+K

Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:46 (sixteen years ago) link

extra dollar for HD movies

Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:46 (sixteen years ago) link

So $5 to rent a new HD movie? That actually sounds a tad steep to me.

Eric H., Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link

"100 titles today"

Armageddon, Armageddon special edition...

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link

stet, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:48 (sixteen years ago) link

just tell me it will be 802.11n, mount wirelessly on my desktop, i can drag divx files onto it, and they will then show up in the movies menu, that's all i want

of course it will probably be extremely hard to do that, since otherwise why would anyone use the movie rental thingie

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:49 (sixteen years ago) link

not excited by this at all :(

... which, going by past experience, means in six months i'll think it's the best thing ever. still.

Social networking!

"Can preview movies from the interface, and see what other users who have rented that movie have rented"

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:49 (sixteen years ago) link

I hope it is has a better interface. That one they replaced Front Row with in Leopard is total fucking toss.

Also tracer otm re putting yr own movies on it

stet, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:49 (sixteen years ago) link

This could be the development that stops people talking about movies!

Eric H., Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:50 (sixteen years ago) link

wait, FIRST-RUN titles?? why would the studios agree to that?

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:50 (sixteen years ago) link

"and see what other users who have rented that movie have rented"

grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Steve demoed starting a movie just after having rented it. Note he has an extremely fast connection. The movie was downloading at 1% per second

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 17:52 (sixteen years ago) link
