Movies in the iTunes Store
Lost in all the excitement of the new iPods, iPod nanos, and iPod Shuffles we overlooked something: movies in the iTunes Store. That's right, the rumormongers were correct and you can now purchase movies from Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar, Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films (all Disney studios) from the comfort of iTunes. This movies (and all tv shows now) are available at a resolution of 640x48 which Apple calls 'near DVD quality.'
In an effort to make movie viewing more pleasurable you can watch the movies as you download them, and iTunes 7 features new on screen controls (seen at the left) which make it easier to control your movie. And of course you can review the movies that are available on iTunes (there are about 75) so if you're really into the Princess Diaries (iTunes link) let the world know!
New feature film releases will cost $14.99 which back catalog movies will go for $9.99.
