@John, except it’s still illegal in Australia to rip DVDs, so this is pretty much the only legal way to rent or buy movies for your computer or ipod

At first I thought it must have been a joke. Apple needs to check out the current AU dollar. $10-30 for movies I can buy cheaper that have a phyical disc that I can rip to my iphone or ipod as well as safely store the oringal media. Comeon Apple take the digital age forward not backward. Sell the content at realistic pricing, no wonder movies companies are being rippped off by pirates with that pricing.

Well, I work at a Blockbuster, and the prices aren't that bad. I mean, for us it's $4.95 for a new release rental on a weekday, and $7 on weekends, so $5.99 stacks up pretty nicely (even more so when you consider you have it for two days. Juno is being sold for about $30, at least around these parts (Perth), so this doesn't seem too bad. It's the combo deals where videoshops shine, but iTunes seems pretty competitive.

Being on iiNet, I'm over the moon with this. Bought myself There Will Be Blood, and the whole experience (one touch buying, and being able to watch it from the get go) is just so simple.

Well thats kinda pretty lame. I can vouchers that are cheaper for my local movie rental place and JB Hifi, Big W etc sell physical DVDs cheaper that itunes most of the time. So in my opinion its pretty meh.
