On a side note, my wife just came back from Sydney and bought a few new release CDs there. $10 each, brand new and shrinkwrapped (and in a legitimate store!). At that price, the traditional stores might put some real pressure on iTMS here in Oz. Maybe Apple Aust. can't get the prices low enough here to compete?

Rod!

Remember, Apple doesn't need to make a profit from the iTMS directly. It's only there to sell iPods and eventually more Macs.

Have fun,

So there is a reasonable chance we may never see it here then, as Australia is usually at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to stock. Since demand is greater than supply for iPods, they have no real need to bring iTMS to Australia :-(

(Or is it just me being pessimistic and ticked off every week when I get an iTMS email sprouting the latest free downloads from the US iTMS!)
