And only 200 of the rentals are 720p. The rest of the stuff that you can actually BUY is still only "near DVD quality".

So you get to pay 15 bucks to own a crappy compressed version of a movie that can be had from Best Buy or Amazon for about the same price. DVD's look OK on a 46" screen, but iTunes stuff really shows its weakness at that size.

Day and date is the least of iTunes's problems. The video quality is what they really need to address right now.
