Movielink and Vongo are good alternatives right now, but having Apple enter the race would be a humongous plus. One thing that I think is the way to go with this, however, is subscription model instead of pay-per-use. Vongo implemented this model well. I used Vongo as my primary for a good period of time, but then moved back to Blockbuster when they came out with Total Access. I would probably stick with Blockbuster unless Apple was able to offer a very large selection for a similar price. I might occasionally use Apple iTunes if I was "impulse" browsiing and didn't want to go out to pick one up w/a free rental receipt. I’ve been hoping for this.
