Unfortunately it's not available to US users and is only available for Ireland at the moment...

Anyone know of a US release?

When I tried, it looked like it might be possible if I opened an account in Ireland's ITunes. Has anyone tried this?

I have just bought it with my UK iTunes account. It has downloaded and I watched the first couple of minutes to make sure it works.

It works.

There was nothing saying that it was only available in certain countries.

The most annoying thing is that it doesn't mention Lina's name anywhere on the iTunes cast listing yet I understand that she plays a fairly important character :think:

I'll watch it when I'm in the right mood for it.

This is what I got.

I changed it to see if it worked and it did but changed it back as I'm not sure if there are a number of limits to changing countries on iTunes unless I'm mistaking it for something else.

Maybe all of Europe has access to the Ireland iTunes? Ireland is part of Europe, after all.

I don't think there is a limit to how many times you can change your registered country in iTunes Store (and all apple devices linked to your account automatically) but you can't buy anything unless you have a billing address (and associated bank account) in the new country you have selected. According to iTunes.

Are you thinking of the limit for changing region codes for DVD and BluRay drives?

After a small bit of research:
Camelot itself wrote:What you need know before you change your country or region

When you change your iTunes Store country:
  • Update your billing address to one in your new country. When you change your billing address, the primary address for your Apple ID and your other Apple services, such as the App Store and iCloud, automatically updates.
  • You might need to update your payment method. For example, only German credit cards can be used to buy content from the German iTunes Store and App Store.
  • You won't see the items that you purchased from the previous country’s store in your Purchased section.
  • You won’t see the items from your iCloud Music Library that you matched, uploaded, or added from the previous country’s store.
When you make a purchase in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store, the country in your iTunes Store account information must match the country listed on your Apple ID account page.

Find out what to do if you can't change your country or region.
My advice would be to start a separate iTunes account with Ireland. I will try this as soon as I have time to set up a separate login (just in case ;) ).
