Today Apple announced another feather in their media mogul cap, movies will now be sold through the iTunes Store (previously named iTunes Music Store). Currently, the collection is comprised of flicks from Disney owned movie studios including Pixar (Cars, Finding Nemo), Touchstone (Sixth Sense w/ Haley “Druggie” Osment, and Miramax). Other studios are bound to follow (e.g. ABC was the first and only TV network on iTunes, now there’s 40). The price for movie downloads? New releases are $12.99 if pre-ordered, $14.99 thereafter, and previous flicks (think movies located in the middle of Blockbuster) are $9.99. The downloads won’t be postage stamp size quality either. According to AppleInsider, they’ll be “near DVD-quality” at about 89% their circular plastic counterpart (Nerds: 640 pixels width versus 720 pixels).
