Fox, Warner Bros., Paramount, Sony, and Universal are all going to join up to where Disney has been for months. All the major studios will be “making all their new releases available through the iTunes Store… from the moment their DVD and Blu-ray counterparts hit store shelves.”

I had mentioned earlier that Fox and Paramount were already experimenting with iTunes sales and all the studios had jumped on-board back in January with the movie rental scheme Apple has put forth. This will be a big step forward to help invigorate the sagging DVD market.

New release downloads will cost $14.99 and catalog downloads will run for $9.99.
