for those of you buying US itunes cards from package forwarding services like PriceUSA.
Just bought one and got instantly delivered via email.
I use these with unblock-us to access Netflix and HuluPlus.
If you know any cheap alternatives just list in the comments. thanks.
You wouldn't know it as a bargain unless you used a US iTunes card in Australia.
Find a cheaper option and post it here if you feel this is not a bargain
Awesome.
7 negs to me, 10 plus votes to you, and yet still no one can explain to me how a $50 card at $50 cost is a 'bargain' ?
plus it was out of stock virtually straight away.
my neg on deal still stands unless someone would like to explain the bargain more than OP did…. instead of just negging me for the sake of negging.
games and music are often cheaper on the US Store compared to the Aus store
Do some research and/or ask why BEFORE you neg.
You seem to be the only one who doesn't understand the benefits of a US itunes card.
FWIW I paid well over $30 for a $25 USD one a while back.
This was a great deal.
not so much of games (or apps, really) anymore but music and tv shows are still absolute rip offs.
It's a bargain because the only way to get it is to actually be in the US or have someone there to buy it for you. Apple (and other US retailers) are required to block overseas credit cards, so you can't even buy these online.
Hence being able to buy this at "full price" is a bargain simply because it cannot be had any other way.
As for the card itself, US iTunes media is a LOT cheaper than in Australian iTunes store by virtue of the licensing rights being more "direct" in the US, where most shows are produced. There's no middle man taking his cut over there, hence if you're interested in "legally" purchasing media at all (even if through a slight loophole) this is good value for money.
Hope that helps.
You can't use itunes cards with Netflix, Hulu or Unblockus. These can only be used in itunes and the app store.
You can access Netflix and Hulu Plus with an AppleTV through unblock-us. You can then sign up and pay for Netflix or Hulu Plus using your US iTunes credit.
Thanks, didn't know that. I'll give that a try when I get home.
wow, you don't even need foxtel anymore then.
no ABN
I thought quickflix and netflix are the same.
Netflix = US original
Quickflix = Overpriced Aussie takeoff
This was out of stock pretty much on posting.
There were 32 of them. The fact that it got ozbargained doesn't deserve a neg.
hahaha. he'll up the prices if he got any left.
The guys got some more and I just go some - got the codes in about 15 minutes and loaded up fine. Thanks OP
