Is this the first movie available on iTunes?
The Washington Post says that a made-for-TV movie from Disney, "High School Musical," has shown up on the iTunes Music Store.
Not exactly a theatrical feature, but what's interesting is the pricing: $9.99 and you own it.
I do wonder whether iTunes can get in the business of renting movies (i.e., movies that would vanish from your hard drive after 24 hours or a week), given that so far every product you buy from them is something you own for good.
Your thoughts?

Maybe there will have to be 2 prices. 1 for rent and 1 to but - just like DVDs

If iTunes doesn't, there are plenty of sites out there ready to "rent" digital downloads to consumers.
Also, figuring out the pricing must be a nightmare/crapshoot. Does 'Lord of the Rings' cost the same as 'Gigli'?

i think it's a little off balance already with music videos and hour long dramas both costing 1.99. I mean, 1.99 isn't bad for an hour, but a short music video?
