    I noticed this, too. It's not what I expected after watching the announcement that Steve Jobs made (at either WWDC or MacWorld, I can't remember which). They need to stay consistent or customers will become frustrated. I'd bet it has something to do with the studios, though. After all, why would Apple want to *remove* content from its store? They would want to add more and more content to attract more customers, make more money, get more users on board with using Apple products, etc.

    when is commin'out? Why has it suddenly disappeared? The AppleTV was even kind enough to remind me I’d already rented this movie when I tried to buy it.
