DECENT NIGHT FOR UPDATES WITH 6 HD TITLES AND 11 SD TITLES ADDED

Well, let’s see if these new additions don’t go disappearing anytime soon. In HD titles we get Witness, Searching for Bobby Fischer, Falling in Love, Naked Gun 2 1/2, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, and the original The Italian Job (1969).

In SD titles we have Boomerang, Chinatown, First Monday in October, Ghost, Mission: Impossible, Little Women, Plaza Suite, Posse, Save the Last Dance, Soapdish and The Score.

I have to say that pretty much all of these titles showed up when Apple did their mistake Big Dump last week. Maybe their mistake was a preview of things to come. We can only hope.

I’ve noticed something strange and am wondering if anyone else is seeing this… It has to do with movies that are listed in the iTunes store for purchase only (not rental), but nevertheless appear listed on my tv…

I am currently looking at a movie in my “Rented Movies” page — this is the only place I see this behavior… The rented movie is listed as, “Spider-Man 3″, and as normal I see eight movie covers lined up below as, “Viewers like you also rented”. The oddity is that five of the eight are not rental movies, but purchase only in iTunes. They are: “Finding Nemo”, “The Three Musketeers”, Bicentennial Man”, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. The ones correctly listed (FYI) are, “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier”, “True Grit” and “Red River”… If I select any of the ones that I know to be ‘purchase only’ in iTunes, I get the message, “The item you’ve requested is not available.”.

Is this a bug that anyone else has noticed? The whole episode of finding this reminds me of the night when then supposed, “big dump” that never happened, and the non-adding, adding, of purchase capability to tv.

Comments and/or speculations?

Thanks.

UPDATE: This morning upon checking, I find that each and every of the “Viewers like you also rented” have changed. Now, six of the eight are bona fide rentals, and two of the eight are ‘purchase only’ (”Monsters, Inc.” and “Shane”). Again, selecting either of the two movie covers results in the same error, “The item you’ve requested is not available.”
