Buy Movies Directly on Apple TV (No Computer Required)

They now mix the rentals in with the to-purchase movies, which blows. There should be two completely separate pages, or at least an icon that says "Rent or Buy" or "Buy Only" beneath it. I won't be buying movies through Apple until they're available in HD, and even then I won't want to check 20 New Releases only to find 2 are rentable and the other 18 can only be purchased, and in regular def.

Seriously, why didn't they have this feature before? I would normally have to buy from itunes on my laptop, watch it backup over time machine, then sync it to my apple tv. This is ridiculous. I am looking forward to being able to purchase HD content not just rent.

try buying it on your computer then playing it on your apple tv. Good luck. That doesnt work on my apple tv now. And dont start a movie for 1 sec it will time out in one day. Even if by accident. They need to address those issues.

@genius74: I agree about the earmarking stuff. I think Apple needs to take a page out of Microsoft's playbook on Zune Marketplace, which allows for a limited amount of redownloads of your library.

DeCSS + cheap storage + XBMC = No reason to get an AppleTV.

Now they just need to either:

1) Earmark the movies (things) you buy so u can re-download them for free

2)@ least give us a time machine backup option..

I notice a lot of releases are coming out in iTunes that are only available for purchase. Sucks. I don't want to buy There Will Be Blood, but I want to see it. Humbug I says. Humbug!
