Comments on: You can buy ‘Juno’ in iTunes – but why would you? http://www.applegazette.com/itunes/you-can-buy-juno-in-itunes-but-why-would-you/ Apple Gazette - An Apple Blog Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:46:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: wc http://www.applegazette.com/itunes/you-can-buy-juno-in-itunes-but-why-would-you/comment-page-1/#comment-96060 wc Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:05:11 +0000 http://www.applegazette.com/itunes/you-can-buy-juno-in-itunes-but-why-would-you/#comment-96060 What I don't get is why Apple is has a rental option for some but not all of its offerings. It seems like good amount are for purchase only. Whereas I mostly rent: I don't want to clog up my hard disk; I rarely watch anything twice except reference. Full itunes purchase price is much higher than any other rental I know of, so there have been more than a few nights when I have just gone without.

Mom wants to see Hotel Rawanda? Got it. Sister has a urge to see a bunch of works of the guy from XXX? I've got that too. I've got whole tv shows, crazy movies, etc etc. I can't lend them a digital copy. So I buy the hard copy so that I can share the movies I love (and give the ones I don't).

I live 30 miles from the closest Best Buy or Walmart. If I want to buy a movie I'll usually order it from Amazon. but now that I can buy and DL on my Apple TV why wait? So I can have a shelf full of DVD cases? Now way... I actually just ripped all of my movies on to HDD using Handbrake, threw the originals in a zipped up DVD case and tossed the big plastic cases in the trash. It’s all about convenience.

I've always thought videos in iTunes were a bit expensive. I think a better price point would be around $5.99 - $9.99 depending on how long ago the movie was released. Definitely not worth it.

He doesn't ask for that price, people bid that way. I guess there are some folks just don't want to be bothered with making that trip to Best Buy, either online or in person.
