That's incredible

iTunes Music / TV / iPod Games / Movie store is absolutely <br />incredible. Other movie giants are, of course, taking note of this <br />and have got to be moving their pictures onto the store soon, <br />unless they don't want any piece of the pie, and that talk just <br />doesn't fly in Hollywood.<br /><br />I, myself, can't wait to get my hands on Apple's iTV.

What happens

when the DSL/Cable goes down while downloading? Do they refund? I'll stick with DVDS.

Amazing

It's just amazing to me how Apple is successfully positioning itself <br />to become THE media provider for the world - and how its setting <br />up to "backdoor" into the PDA, mobile phone, DVR markets as well <br />as backdoor into the movie "rental" markets that Netflix and <br />Blockbuster have...whatever rental means anymore.

Check for purchases iTUNES

If you don't want to wait for multiple downloads of multiple movies, just stop. When you open iTunes again, the downloads will start back up from where you stopped...<br /><br />It's easy, get used to it...

Wonder What Numbers Amazon did...

I wonder what kind of numbers Amazon's Unbox did since they rushed to get the jump on Apple...

Outstanding

Nice, <br /><br />I cannot wait to melt down my entire collection of plastic and get <br />everything on hard drives. I have been slowly converting my <br />DVD's to Disk via Handbrake.<br /><br />Now with Apple's service, this is the only way I am buying <br />movies from now on in.<br /><br />I tried it out last week via a download to my Win 2K box and it <br />worked great. Works good on my Macs too.
