Apple Sells 1 Million Videos in Under 20 Days

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the more-reasons-not-to-leave-the-house dept.

olddotter writes "Apple has sold over 1 million videos through iTunes since the release of the Video iPod service. Personally I am surprised by this success, it raises many questions. Will this encourage more people to put their video content on the iTunes store? Is there a vast market for cheaper stuff at reduced prices? Why am I willing to pay more for music than I would for video?"

    Just my opinion, but music has a MUCH higher replay value than videos or movies. I *love* the movie Se7en, but I only watch it once every 2 or 3 months. I listen to a bunch of the music I bought from the iTMS every day on my way to and from work.

    You can bet that they will increase prices.

    30MB music collection? Son, I've got 15GB, all of it legal. (Been buying CDs for 16 years or so.) And some (not many, but some) videos are worth watching. No, I haven't pruchased any videos, but that's only because they don't have the ones I want.
