No iTunes movies for Asia

"We cannot comment on the specifics but it is true that iTunes is not available in Asia. That goes for music and movies."

Just get a credit card with a billing address in an 'authorized' country.

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Do you know how impossible that would be for the average Juan Perez in a non-iTMS country?
Those unsolicited credit card applications don't get shipped across borders, you know.

Yeah, the only people that would be buying that stuff in those countries are expats. Everyone else will pirate it or buy it off the street.

I would love to be able to buy from the iTMS here. The only legal outlet is HMV

Yes it is available in Japan and Australia. But not in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan or South Korea - all of which could support a local version of the iTMS IMHO.

How does the prepaid gift card work?

Do I require a US based credit card or billing address?

Thanks

I'm not sure. But you can get the gift cards on eBay.
