iTunes Store starts offering discount movies

It appears as if Apple wants to help your wallet out during this not so good economy. With their new iTunes sections called “This Week’s Great Movies Under $5″ and “This Week’s Great Albums Under $5,” iTunes Store users will now be able to browse through a nice category of limited time, cheaper digital downloads. Although these movies and albums are a bit older, as you might expect, there certainly are some good titles in there that would be a nice $5 purchase, especially with this holiday shopping season coming up.

I think Apple is doing a good thing by offering some nice discounts on some of their downloads that probably aren’t as popular. This will obviously help drive sales on those products, giving both Apple and the producers of the content more money. The only weird part about this is that you can still rent some of the movies for $2.99 that you can buy for under $5. Why you would rent them with prices this low is beyond me, but nevertheless, be sure to check the new deals out.
