Jesus, to rent in HD its $1.00 more for each. $5.00 to watch a movie for one day max? No thanks.

[mattmatik]

$4.99 for HD rentals.

I think the pricing is fair. For all you complaining about it, it's the same pricing structure as DirecTV pay-per-view. I don't see what the big deal is.

[crazzyyfool]

Is it just me or is none of this really all that interesting? and well kinda a rip... especially the $20 ipod update... I just bought my ipod the day before chirstmas now I have to cough up $20 for the "new" apps... bs if you ask me...

Then don't buy it. No one is forcing you too? You spend hundreds of $$$ on an iPod yet you're complaining about $20? :blink:

Apple TV looks to crush Blockbuster/Netflix now. $5 HD rentals is pretty good.

[sundayx Veteran]

^Better valued than going to the theaters.

it's not bad for HD quality, but i think most people will use it to stream stuff from their mac/pc

Nice $ grabbing strategy if you ask me. They sell tons of Touches on Xmas. Now they want more to buy, so they're including all these apps, which I think the touch should already have, just so they can sell even more.

I hate getting screwed by Apple. :crazy:

[windows7]

its apples first attempt at this, give them a break. "its all new to them" lol

I'm still confused about that. Bad wording

"Watch instantly! In less than 30s..." it streams. "The rules -- you have 30 days to start watching it, and once you start you have 24 hours to watch and finish it. As many times as you want. You can transfer films to another device in the middle -- transfer to your iPod and watch the rest on the iPod on your flight."

apple TV 2 is has been out for awhile and its called OnDemand

Want to know what's depressing.....

I'm in the UK and I *bet* AppleTV2 will be DOUBLE the price and DOUBLE the rental charge.

[NienorGT]

Movie rentals are too expensive.

$3.00 for a classic, $4.00 for a new release.

Definitely, FFS, it's $4 for 24h (usable) + The price of the Bandwitdh!

My ISP don't offer unlimited download anymore...

Thats the point though, I dished out couple hundred for a product, only to expect myself to have to pay more for apps "that are not even new".

Not for only 24 hours it isn't. I love Apple, but that is seriously bad.

Netflix, you keep as long as you want beats Apple, pay $5 and you keep for 24 hours (once you've started watching the film).

well it still should be free.....

yeah but is it full 1080?

That's the point, you've already spent hundreds, why spent a penny more?

[AJerman]

Haha, Apple sure has you right where they want you huh? The point is exactly that, he just spend hundreds of dollars on an iPod, and now he has to pay $20 more for some simple features? Apple has always been the masters of getting a few more dollars out of people. I can't even imagine how much money they make on small sales every year.

I pay $15 a MONTH for netflix and can get 3 at a time. That would be 3 total rentals from itunes for a total of 72 hrs.

[Rudy]

i wonder if people who bought the first appletv are going to get some of those features (we all know it can do most of them)

Apple TV Take 2 - http://s3.media.macrumorslive.com/p/f1200419072.jpg

HD rentals are $4.99. 100 titles today

Downloadable HD movies... wonder how large these are going to be? Comcast already gets ****ed if you download stuff like that as it is...

Why should the Touch have those apps, though? It's a damn iPod. At this point, the Touch is an iPhone that can't call and without a mobile contract. I'd say that's pretty damn good.

[craybox]

well your only gonna want the touch upgrade if you want mail so is that worth the $20 ?

Haha, then I guess renting from Apple isn't for you then, is it? Come on man.
