A rental in the $2 to $4 range is the max it should go.
Agreed about the price. However, I still think it'll be a big success down the road. At first, I'm thinking iTunes/Apple will get slammed with criticism about it but still be a pioneer in that respect of bring movies to your desktop for a price (at least I know of know Mac-compatible sites for movie rentals/downloads at the current time though I'm sure there are Windows-based sites).

And people will rent the movies -- that's the thing. I agree they'd be dummies for doing it, but I have a hunch it'll be successful. Call me crazy
Ummm please, stop right here. Don't start another fake 'being-first' urban legend about Apple (like CD-ROM, DVD, gigabit, Firewire etc), please.

There are numerous online movie stores out there:

»www.movielink.com
»www.vongo.com
»www.cinemanow.com
»www.atomfilms.com - this one offers FREE downloads including Atomfilms Hi-Def

And of course, there are lots of free movies already available on Google Video, Veoh or other existing video sites.

Re: who cares?

Maybe if you actually read my post, you would have read that I said I don't know of any other sites.

Thanks for the flame!

I'm sorry, it wasn't about flaming.
I just simply hate all of those false Apple-related urban legends and wnated to set the record straight.

What an ignorant answer, those sites don't even cater to Mac users with their Windows Media DRM garbage.

Umm look who's talking... the original statement was only about being first.

(BTW it'd be more than funny if somebody would proudly claim Apple did something first on OS X only. )

Besides that a single-digit market force like OS X doesn't really convince anybody to develop something specific for them - because the fact of the matter is Apple decided not to develop anything that would play WMV, only MS had put out some shitty-buggy beta for a while...

Talk about showing sheer ignorance...

PS: WMV and WMVHD or VC-1 is far superior to anything Apple was able to come up - same or better quality with lower hw requirements, you know...

Re: who cares?

Whatever.  Posting replied on here is like talkin' to brick walls.  Everyone's out to just flame each other.

Not catering to 5% of the market? Big loss there...

I thought I read that Apple now held closer to 10% of the market now somewhere?
