The iTunes Music Store was launched in Australia on 25 October 2005. Individual songs are priced at AU$1.69 per track, album prices vary but are generally priced at AU$16.99. The recent release of video-capable iPods ... saw the store launch with music videos and short films by Pixar available for AU$3.39 each, although TV episodes are not currently available. Stores in the Coles Group retail chain sell iTunes Music Cards in denominations of AU$20, AU$30, AU$50, AU$70, and AU$100. iTunes Gift Cards (as they are now known) are now also available in many more stores such as JB Hi-Fi, David Jones, and the Woolworths chain of stores. Access was inadvertently given to some people in New Zealand, too.[40] Failed negotiations with the Sony BMG label (which had delayed the launch of the Australian iTMS significantly) meant that none of that label's artists were available at the time of launch.
