By the Betanews Staff | Published April 11, 2007, 11:57 AM

MGM has become the latest major studio to offer its films through iTunes, adding some of its most memorable titles to the more than 500 movies now available through the service. Films such as "Dances with Wolves," "Mad Max," and "Rocky" have already been added, with plans to add additional titles in the coming weeks. Movies would be delivered in 640x480 resolution, Apple said.

More than two million movies have now been downloaded, and Apple claims that it is the most popular movie download service on the Internet. Currently iTunes has about five million songs, 350 television shows, and over 500 movies. Over 2.5 billion music tracks, 50 million television shows, and two million movies have been purchased, according to the latest figures.

That's all fantastic and all, but who would download a damned movie that you can't burn to watch elsewhere? Or can you? I honestly don't know, but I severely doubt it. I guess I don't understand why this makes any lick of sense to do.
