If there was one benefit I was looking forward to from Apple announcing that movies would be available same day as their DVD release was the release of the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Sure we could argue about the quality of the download, but hey, we were getting OG Indiana Jones on the 13th of May right? Apparently not.
“Apple® today announced that new movie releases from major film studios and premier independent studios are available for purchase on the iTunes® Store (www.itunes.com) on the same day as their DVD release.”
That was a quote from Apple’s press release on same day movie releases. Notice how the quote states “new movie releases”. Could this be why we didn’t get Indiana Jones yesterday? Because it’s technically a catalog title? Just a little something to think about if you were expecting to see Indy in the iTunes Store yesterday.
