I understand (I think) that I tunes has only launched movies and TV shows in the US. Have I got this right, and anyone have any idea when they are coming here?
You only need to have a US billing address in your iTunes account to access/download content from the US iTunes store.
Apple paid a nice visit to the chaps at BBC recently, hopefully negotiating some fantastic British comedy for our own iTunes store (one can only hope). They really need to get UK iTunes sorted out before the launch of AppleTV.
Thanks,
Sarah

By a US address you mean one just puts in any old US address. Funnily enough I have an address I can use in mind . Does this not muck up your CC payments though, the address used being part of the security?
Humm, I don't know that the address I had in mind (1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) could really be classed as one which is under anyone's control.
I will have a look for these gift vouchers!

Ta [y]. I will let you know if I need some. In the meantime I will try and work out how to use the US site! It keeps telling me I don't have Itunes installed, then when I click on 'Oh yes I do!'it whips me off to the UK site again - grrrrrr
Yep, I think that is what Sarah & Wood are saying (although correct me if I am wrong guys)
Had a look at ebay. Try Here
For most of the sellers you need a verified paypal account. Makes sense really as they are in effect shipping money round, and taking a mark up on the exchange rates.
Mine account isn't verified, but it is a simple process of giving you phone number then taking a verification call. You also need to give a bank account, and then wait for Paypal to make two small deposits into the account. All in all should take about 3 days because of the time taken for the deposits to clear. There is also a form where you confirm your merchant details. I couldn't make heads nor tails of it, as I am not a merchant. But just guess the details and gave a valid email, and all worked fine.
Had a look at the music prices in the US, they tend to be $0.99 which compares pretty well to our £0.79. Bah Rip off Britain!
