Track $0.99 movie rentals on iTunes

When Apple announced that it would be doing movie rentals through iTunes, it was time to invest in an Apple TV for the family.  What further made movie rentals enticing was that Apple is offering a $0.99 itunes rental movie of the week.

Since the weekly movie isn’t advertised on the iTunes storefront, we made 99rental.com complete with RSS feed. 99rental.com lists all $0.99 movie rentals on iTunes and their current availability. The special price is available from Thursday through Monday. Once rented you have 30 days to watch it. Now you have no excuse to miss these great titles on your favorite iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV.

If you have any suggestions on how we can make 99rental.com more useful, feel free to drop a line in the comments!

Update (July 31st, 2008): You can now track the £0.99 iTunes UK Film of the Week

Update (September 1st, 2008): You can now track the $0.99 iTunes Canada Movie of the Week
