Movies are now available on iTunes in Australia and New Zealand. There’s all the major studios, like Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox, with awesome movies like National Treasure 2 and Cloverfield on there. Prices start at A$9.99 for movie purchases in Australia, and NZ$9.99.
More than 700 movies are on iTunes down there, so there’s plenty of junk to choose from.
And how about this: you folks all the way down there have 48 hours to watch rented movies, whereas the rest of us only get 24 hours. I wonder why that’s the case.
We get 48 hours in the UK too, and it seems like Canada get 48 hours too. Seems it’s just people in the states who only get 24 hours. Not sure what that is all about.
2 for 1 used to be the dollar exchange rate but that, like the Canadian rate, has changed dramatically. Maybe time will catch up too. Or could it be that Aussie’ aren’t as tied to entertainment as we are in the US?
