iTunes Movie Rentals - Confirmed?
Here’s an interesting tidbit. It seems that while David Watanabe was trying to report a potential problem via iTunes, selectable options for “Movie Rental” appeared in the list as shown on the above screenshot. Are rental movies coming to iTunes? I wouldn’t be at all surprised, would you?
David adds that “Engadget … confirmed the veracity of this screenshot, saying that at the time of writing, they ‘verified that these options are still viewable’. These options have subsequently been removed, since there presence was clearly a mistake. However, this third-party verification should remove any doubt as to the validity of this screenshot.”
Now, this could simply have been a few Apple guys testing theoretical functions and inserting humorous test data. Or not. Movie rentals via iTunes would certainly be nice, especially if they’ll stream via iMovie to your big screen…

THAT will be so sweeeeet!!!
Now that would be neat even if it doesn't stream (I watch movies now on my computer).
Nice discovery. Hat tip to the guy who found it. Let's hope it is real (I think it is!)
I think I can speak for all readers who never post comments about this kind of speculation: SUUUPPPPPERRR!!!
Looks like my prayers are about to be answered. I hate buying movies just to watch on my iPod. I don't have iMovie but rentals might make me get it if it streams.
