Unless you enjoy buying TV show episodes on iTunes and watching them over and over, you’d probably rather save some money and rent the videos instead. According to the anonymous whispers in the ear of Bloomberg, $1, 48-hour iTunes video rentals from Fox, Disney and other giants are on the way.

The story also says a new iPod Touch — blessed with iPhone 4-caliber screen resolution — is coming, as is a scaled-down version of Apple TV that costs $99.

Do you buy iTunes movies and TV shows, and would you rather rent them?
