Apple Kills 99-Cent iTunes TV Show Rentals
Apple seems to have quietly removed the option to rent TV shows from iTunes Store and Apple TV on Friday.
Last year, when Apple introduced the second generation Apple TV, it adopted the rental model instead of the purchase model as Apple TV 2G came with only 8GB storage. So Apple TV 2G users could rent first-run HDTV movies at a price of $4.99, while single episodes of TV shows in HD were available for $0.99.

GREAT IDEA! Renting digital formats is just a bad business model.

Can you say iCloud? Makes sense!

Ah pity, buying episodes of TV shows is far too expensive, I have to get my series elsewhere now. Really liked the rental system but I'm not going to pay 2,99 per episode! I'm not stupid... maybe trying Netflix, much cheaper.

Ok it's 1,99 in Apple TV - still way too expensive. Apple should buy Netflix and offer it in Apple TV worldwide. That'd be nice! :)

Is this the pre IOS5 effect?

Sorry but as much as i love apple products, i won't trust apple running Netflix.... simultaneous streaming from multiple location on multiple device would end quick. Please key your hands of Netflix apple.
