I've just rented a movie and downloaded it although I haven't watched it. If i liked it and decied to buys it, does it take into account the cost of the rental or do I have to pay full price for it still?
Also, if I haven't watched it, can I still reverse the rental purchase and instead just buy the movie? (just realised it's only a difference of $4)

You will still have to pay the full price of the movie. Having rented it in the past doesn't change the price upon purchase.

Hi ...
You must pay full price to purchase a movie.

No.
I agree you should be credited. iTunes is being greedy.
The world steals movies, downloads them illegally, honest people don't.
we, on the other hand, pay through the teeth for them, poor incentive, no? I will never download illegally it's against my morals but I wish iTunes was more affordable and that they would credit you.
They got me
Here's another dimension to consider. Whether you rent or own, the movie studio gets their royalty. The royalty is built into the price we pay. So, a rent to own makes sense from a royalty perspective as well. If you rent then later decide to buy, they studio is essentially getting the royalty twice.
I agree that this should be possible. I mean even Blockbuster will let you do that and you even get a physical hard copy, not just some silly file that you can't even lend to a friend or watch anywhere but on your Apples.
whom ever does the music gave the option to give a discount when buying a few songs for the whole album and it lead to a increase of sales. Being in retail it surprises me how much revenues businesses lose Because of GREED I mean they are so shortsighted that they throw millions away. I have nothing against the pursuit of collecting as much currency as humanly possible but when you throw away billions because they want it all millions of customers can do without paying full price for the new blockbuster of the week. And a year later we have little to no interest in purchasing 95% of the movies that were released that year .
Rent to Own movies on iTunes?
