How come Apple's movies are such low resolution?

[shandyman]

Really? You think so. I thought £3 more for new releases and £1 more for older films was pretty good value. I expected Apple to be dicks and charge way more.

It's £4.50 to rent some new stuff via apple tv in HD! the rest is £3.50 and other stuff at £2.50, still pricey on the most part

Oh and while we're at it, TV rentals in the UK would be nice! and netflix or lovefilm too

I was referring to the price difference of purchased HD content, the UK has had HD rentals for quite sometime now.

New movie releases are priced at £9.99 for SD and £12.99 for HD which I don't think is too bad, or £6.99 for older SD and £7.99 for older HD movies, which is even better at just a £1 increase for a lot better quality.

As for TV rentals and Netflix/Lovefilm, I'd rather buy my content outright and watch it as many times as I like than rent it, but that's just me

i use rentals for stuff i just don't wanna own, like various tv boxsets, films that i am not sure about, or whatever. anything i really wanna own, i buy outright on blu ray rather than on itunes, i don't see the point buying films on itunes yet as it just doesn't suit my needs.
