Until today, German iTunes users have been unable to utilize the “movies” section in iTunes, a feature that countless other international users have grown so accustomed to.

Popular movies that can be found on Germany’s iTunes movie store include titles such as: “Quantum Of Solace,” “The Dark Knight,” “Pineapple Express,” “High School Musical 3: Senior Year,” “Eagle Eye,” “Die Fälscher,” “Keinohrhasen” and “Aimee & Jaguar.”

I must say, I’ve never heard of the films “Die Fälscher,” “Keinohrhasen” and “Aimee & Jaguar,” but then again I’m not German!

“iTunes movies in Germany start at €7.99 for catalog title purchases, €9.99 for recent releases and €13.99 for new releases. iTunes Movie Rentals are €2.99 for library title rentals and €3.99 for new releases, and high definition versions are priced at just one euro more.”

Unlike their American counterparts, however, German users will have 48 hours to complete an “initiated” rental film, instead of 24.

“With iTunes Movie Rentals, once a movie is rented, it starts downloading from the iTunes Store directly to iTunes or Apple TV, and users with a fast Internet connection can start viewing the movie in seconds. Customers have up to 30 days to start watching it, and once a movie has been started customers have 48 hours to finish it—or watch it multiple times. iTunes Movie Rentals also features over 100 titles available in stunning high definition, perfect for viewing on a widescreen TV with Apple TV.”
