Apple Rolls Out iTunes Movie Bundles
The iPhone blog notes that Apple has launched movie bundles in the iTunes Store, offering consumers the opportunity to purchase a limited number of themed movie multi-pack downloads at discount pricing.
For example, the Godfather I & II bundle [iTunes Store] is offered at $14.99, while the films are available individually for $9.99 each. Some bundles carry even steeper discounts, with the Dirty Dancing bundle [iTunes Store] and several other two-packs priced at $9.99, essentially offering buy-one-get-one-free pricing.
The movie bundles are not limited to two-packs, however, with offerings available up to quad-packs, such as X-Men Quadrilogy [iTunes Store], which is priced at $29.99, a 33% discount over individual pricing.
Finally, Apple has included a pair of HD download bundles in the new offerings in W. / Religulous [iTunes Store, $27.99 HD/$14.99 SD] and a Jason Statham "Action Pack: [iTunes Store, $34.99 HD/$24.99 SD] including Crank 2, Transporter 3, and The Bank Job.
iTunes Movie Bundles currently appear to be limited to the U.S. and Canadian stores, with approximately 30-40 bundles currently available in each store.

Oooh, that reminds me that I never saw Nick & Norah's.... it's good to see some sign of activity from Apple on the digital movie front. I like the idea; one of these days, it'll actually be compelling enough for me to buy content from their video store. I haven't yet.

I haven't bought digital movies from iTunes either. I just can't get myself to pay for a digital-only copy when I can get a physical copy for a few dollars more and do whatever I want with it.

Looks like a good idea, I wonder if we'll see it outside Americashire soon.

Yeah... as I don't have any very fast computers (I don't have any Core 2-based hardware... just a G5 and two Atom-based computers at this point), transcoding is a bit of a pain. Mostly what I do is rip DVDs in Video_TS format and watch them on an SD card in my Eee, which I usually carry on trips anyway.
The DVD also has a lot of extra content that's, AFAIK, still not in iTunes. At minimum iTunes needs a DVD feature analogous to iTunes LP....

Nice try, but I am still not buying movies from iTunes.
The cost of one movie will buy me a Netflix subscription for like 3 months!

Its not just for movies either. I noticed a few days ago, some Tv series pricing was dropped as well.
X-Files was priced at 39.99 per season, but currently is 14.99 per season. I snatched up a couple of seasons I didnt have!
I dont need discs, I just burn to my machine anyway to put on my ATV...if I need a hard copy, then I just burn to a disc for the few times I may need one.

I've only been known to rent movies from iTunes. But now that I subscribed to netflix, I don't think I'll ever rent/buy a movie from iTunes again.

A FEW DOLLARS MORE?!???
I wish. Many times you can get the physical DVD for a few dollars less on Amazon. That's the reason I don't buy from Apple: prices are re-frickin-diculous.
The tunes store is practical enough, but the movie store is insane.

One day hopefully the movie store becomes better. When I have a bigger hard drive and faster internet with more quota, and the prices get cheaper, then I might consider it. But probably better to just buy the Blu Ray.
