I think that is what comes close to bait & switch.<BR/><BR/>I'm confident though that Apple will do the right thing.

AppleTV with an iTunes subscription service would make it painless to order movies online and send them by WiFi to your home theater. So while this may seem hypocritical of Apple, the movie content may require a new way of doing business. I'd rather use this service than Netflix.
