    I thought i would set up a thread for all the bargains on the iStore, instead of clogging up the review thread with cheap stuff.

    The Amazing Spiderman - £7.99 HD or £4.99 SD. Comes with 2gb of itunes extras.

    Pulp Fiction - £6.99 HD with 2Gb of iTunes extras.

    Star Trek (2009) - £7.99 HD or £4.99 SD with iTunes extras.

    Total Recall (2012) - £7.99 HD or £4.99 SD with iTunes extras.

    Trouble is, a lot of things on the Apple TV is woefully overpriced and lacks subtitles in far too many films for my liking.

    ... renting a film for £4.49 or £5.49 in very rare cases is ridiculous.

    Who prices these things; Apple themselves or the film studios?

    Those prices are to buy Charlie.

    Renting is expensive but buying is pretty good value IMO. Even brand new releases are £13.99 which is cheaper than blueray at release.

    Yeah, I skim through the £5 section and am pleasantly surprised by how many good movies are priced at a reasonable price.

    Note: Hey Apple, keep the bargains flowing! ;)

    @Syrette Well I put iStore to cover iTunes, and iApps. Yes, the iApps section is seperate from iTunes.

    Fair enough. Makes sense.

    I know!

    ... not bad prices for those you have listed however, I only watch films once and you know, their rental prices are terribly off-putting sometimes, especially considering half of them do not have subtitles.

    Buying a £25 iTunes vouchers for £20 in certain places does make me slightly less irritable about it though.

    The base Star Wars pinball is free on the App Store at the moment. It's only the Empire Srrikes Back table, but it's the best one of the three by far so well worth downloading.

    Xcom Enemy Unknown

    £6.99 was £13.99

    Biggest price drop yet and likely the biggest we will see for awhile.

    I think they just added async multiplayer to it as well. Very tempted.

    Ooh, how nice of Apple to give away Home Alone for nothing, a film that is indefinitely better to watch BEFORE Christmas.

    ... whilst over the pond in America, they get to download the marvellous film, Hugo.

    Yeah.

    Fuck you too.

    I would never do that!

    ... a kids app is a kids app. The likes of Dipdap, The Lonely Beast and Spot the Dog interactive books are great and are worthy of praise, even though I am not a kid (as such).

    In this case, it is a Christmas film given away AFTER Christmas compared to an absolutely brilliant and relatively recent-ish film.

    Tiny Thief is free on the AppStore. Ignore this at your peril. It's a fantastic game :-)
