Movies of the Week
You’re probably getting used to the very easy to use interface of iTunes, it’s undoubtedly the most tempting metthod of selling entertainment that I’ve come across in a long time, and with an installed base of millions of iPod users, 15 million iPhone users and more people getting Apple TV, iTunes is now making purchases more tempting.
Tuesday 11/11/08 marks the introduction of Movies of the Week, and Music of the Week in the iTunes store, you can visit the iTunes page here
For this week, Apple are offering Terminator 2, Total Recall, The Last Action Hero, Red Heat, Air America, Basic Instinct, The Karate Kid, Air Force One, A Guy Thing and St Elmo’s Fire
With Bittorrent notoriously difficult to use, particularly for older classics like these, this is a very good deal, you’re buying a digital file that you’ll own for many years, and, indeed is more portable than Blu-Ray, DVD, or any of their predeccessors.
Apple provides incredibly easy access to the iTunes store through the Apple TV, but doesn’t always highlight the special offers, this may be because Apple TV users are a captive audience and don’t need to be sold so hard, or it may be for aesthetic reasons, regardless, I hope Apple comes up with a way to show these specials to those who’ve got Apple TV’s already!
