iTunes finally reaches 1,000 movie mark, a few months late

When the iTunes movie rental service first made its debut, it didn't take very long for someone to point out that the Emperor didn't have any clothes (or in this case, that Steve didn't have many movie rentals). Only 400 or so movies were available when the target date for 1,000 rentals, something that we thought might be due to the slowness of licensing agreements from the movie studios. Apple and the studios seem to have gotten their acts together, though. Macworld found in its most recent checks that the iTunes Store now boasts over 1,000 movie rentals.

Blockbuster beware: iTunes Store gets same-day DVD releases

In January, Apple flipped the switch on movie rentals for the iTunes Store to much fanfare. A lot of customers don't want to own movies, digital downloads are just plain convenient, and the move seemed to finally crack the major studio nut and catch their attention. Since the announcement, the iTunes Store has been slowly but steadily marching towards a respectable selection of films from all the major studios, as well as independents. Despite this new beat in Apple's step, a number of quirks in the iTunes Store's movie offering have annoyed customers. First and foremost was the release delay: films had a 30-day lead time on DVD before arriving in the iTunes Store, and the majority of new releases were only available for rent, not to purchase.

iTunes Movie Buyers Lose Wait

However, Apple has announced deals with many of its partnering studios that will allow iTunes to offer movie sales on the same day the DVD is out. Those who prefer to rent, however, will still have to observe the waiting period.
