Apple is now officially selling movies at its iTunes store. At least it’s selling one movie: a 487-megabyte made-for-TV tween flick called High School Musical - from Disney, naturally.
UPDATE: The movie, which was originally priced at $1.99, has now been repriced at $9.99, which is rumored to be Apple's target price point for films.
