Sales will be $19.99US and rentals will cost $4.99."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1237563653.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>Choices are limited so far, but I'm glad it is finally here. Nice to have the option even if the selection isn't that large, especially since I don't have a Blu-Ray player, yet. Of course when I do get a Blu-Ray player, the price isn't going to be too appealing. I can get the Twilight movie in Blue-Ray from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Blu-ray-Kristen-Stewart/dp/B001SGEUHY/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1237563849&sr=8-2" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> for about $4.00 USD more that what iTunes is charging. </p>
