![]() ![]() With your new iTunes US account, you'll be able to access the range of cheap movies, music and TV shows available to Americans any time you want, from anywhere in the world. Step 5: making your own inflight entertainment system! With the Australian dollar above parity with the US dollar at the time of writing, it makes the iTunes Store US dramatically cheaper than its Australian equivalent.Īpple blocks the iTunes US store to people who don't have a US credit card, due to licensing restrictions imposed by movie and TV studios (who are keen to control distribution on a region-by-region basis, and charge as much as each country will bear). However, Apple has crippled the Australian version of the iTunes Store with very high pricing.įor example, at the time of writing, The Girl Who Played With Fire costs $24.99 to buy on the iTunes Australia store (no rental option available), but only US$14.99 to buy, or US$3.99 to rent on the iTunes US store. Frankly, it beats piracy for getting movies and TV shows in a convenient way - you can buy entire TV series with one click of the mouse button. ITunes is one of the most convenient ways to get what you're looking for quickly. Any seasoned traveller knows that you can't rely on any airline's inflight entertainment system to actually be working on the day you fly, or to be stocked up with things you haven't seen.Īnd forget about watching hotel TV, at $20 per movie.Ī much better option is to bring your own entertainment when travelling - and that's where Apple's iTunes Store can be very helpful.
