Fox and Apple have reached a deal that would allow movie rentals through the iTunes Music Store. No official announcement yet, so no details on pricing, date, or how the rentals will work. [Reuters]

If there is an annoucement, it will be by Steve Jobs during the Macworld Expo Keynote.
@STrRedWolf: Moron, if there is an announcement it'll be after the speach is finished and as Jobs is walking off the stage he'll say "oh, and one more thing"

Very cool. Paying $14.99 for a movie I'll watch once on my iPod just kind of stinks.
Why do people associate movie downloads from iTunes with the iPod? I mean, yes you can watch it on your iPod, but most people who don't want to go out to rent a movie and who haven't jumped on the Netflix bandwagon might just want to stay home and rent a movie on iTunes and watch it on the computer. *shrug* doesn't mean portability.
And it'd be ridiculous if they really thought anyone would do it for more than $3 per movie.
Actually, neither has announced movie rentals. There are, however, reports that a deal has been made.
