I am curious as to why iTunes pricing is way more expensive than Amazon for both music and movies??
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
I think the difference in price is that Itunes sells the HD version and Amazon Instant video is standard version. If you click the Amazon HD link the price is usually the same as Itunes HD. Amazon also recently made a change were you cannot download HD video with Amazon unbox. You have to use a specific tv, Roku, Tivo,or the new Kindle HD. I stopped buying videos from because of this..and the fact they don't let you use Amazon Unbox on OS X. I buy my digital music and books from Amazon, HD Movies and tv shows from Itunes.
Fine you know what the Apple terms are go someplace else.

Then don't. No one forces you to rent/purchase from iTunes.
Come on guys stop playing dumb.. You all know what he/she is asking: why are some iTunes songs 1.29 while the same song on amazon's is 0.99?
Yikes!
They may not be the identical product. I believe Amazon sells music in mp3 format, Apple sells it as AAC (which is considered better quality for identical bitrates). It looks like Amazon video is streaming whereas iTunes video is a file download. With streaming you require a constant, fast Internet connection and have to stream again with each time you watch it. With file downloads you can take it anywhere (e.g., airplane)
Why is iTunes pricing so much more than Amazon
