I wish that were true in the US of A. We get 24 hours to finish, or it disappears in a proverbial puff of smoke.
Considering tech savey people can better quality sources with little effort, please give us something competitive against free.
I've been stockpiling my ¥en for a few years now thinking that one day they'd release movies and TV shows; been buying a lot of music/videos too, but I've mainly been thinking about other video-related media I'd love to see in Japan. There's not too much I'm interested in right now but those prices look insanely good compared to what DVDs & Blurays usually are priced at in Japan.
When they add TV shows I'm gonna be all about that! Pretty good first steps, I'm excited to say the last :)

And at 8800円 (according to the picture above) the device itself is in parity with the US price too.
Thanks you apple! I won't be replacing my macmini but will be enjoying rentals from time to time. When the store works
Hum, get more RAM?
