The clock is ticking for Apple’s iTunes Movies’ 10th anniversary 10-for-$10 deal – well, $9.99, actually, for each of six 10-movie bundles. The special 24-hour sale ends at 11:59 PM PT.
U.S. iTunes account holders can purchase each bundle at the low cost — usual prices range from $8-$20 — thanks to the one-day deal hatched by Apple with five Hollywood studios: Warner Bros., Universal, Sony Pictures, Paramount and Lionsgate (the latter offering two bundles). Disney and 20th Century Fox are not participating.
Apple says all the films are HD-quality and some include extras. Here’s the announcement tweet:
At least one famous name is happy with the deal: Jared Leto tweeted his approval, with his Twitter profile noting that his band 30 Seconds to Mars’ 2013 album Love Lust Faith + Dreams and film Artifact are available via iTunes.
The iTunes Movie store opened on Sept. 12, 2006, though HD content wasn’t available until March 2009.
