As iLounge points out, Apple has made some subtle changes to the iTunes Store in preparation for the launch of the iTunes App Store, which an Apple rep confirmed to me will take place on July 11th.
Today, Apple officially changed the heading on its iPod Games pages from “iPod Games” to “iPod classic and nano Games,” differentiating the current listings from possible future listings for iPod touch- and iPhone-compatible games. In addition, the company has begun listing the date that films will be available for rent on the purchase pages. The second change may be to aid users who had hoped to rent a title and were confused as to why it was available for purchase but not for rent, or as a prelude to pre-orders for automatic film rental downloads to a computer.
Get ready, folks!

Apple released a press release announcing the availability of HBO programming on the iTunes Store for purchase and download.
The new HBO programs available through iTunes include:
- “The Sopranos”
- “Sex and the City”
- “Deadwood”
- “Rome”
- “Flight of the Conchords”
- “The Wire”
“We’re very excited to make these legendary HBO programs available on the iTunes Store,” said Henry McGee, president of HBO Video. “Whether catching up on ‘Sex and the City’ in anticipation of its upcoming movie release or reliving a favorite ‘Sopranos’ episode, we think viewers will love being able to watch these shows on their iPod or iPhone.”
“We’re thrilled to bring this incredible lineup of programming from HBO to the iTunes Store,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “These are some of the most talked about television shows ever, as well as some of the most requested by our customers.”
Shows downloaded from the iTunes Store can be watched via iTunes on a Mac or PC, on any video-capable iPod, the iPhone, and the Apple TV. Episodes of “Sex and the City,” “The Wire” and “Flight of the Conchords” are available for $1.99 each, while “The Sopranos,” “Deadwood” and “Rome” go for $2.99 per episode.
“Rome” is the bomb, can’t believe it ended so prematurely.
