Just announced in the Stevenote here.

Plus iTunes will be offering HD versions of many shows on Apple TV and for computers.

I am amazed it took this long.

CommanderJMic · September 9 2008, 09:42 PM

Top41 · September 9 2008, 10:13 PM

Very good news, save for the price.

That's the price for HD.

Normal standard def TV shows on iTunes (NBC included) are $1.99

And my boycott of that shit network is officially over.

BSG in HD? I might just buy season 4.0 on iTunes.

Brikar99 · September 11 2008, 04:11 AM

When you get the HD episodes, you also get the SD version at the same time for $2.99.

Quo Vadimus · September 11 2008, 04:15 AM

Really? That's awfully nice of NBC/iTunes.

Hermiod · September 11 2008, 07:11 AM

^It's just so you can carry on playing the episodes on your iPod/iPhone as they can't handle high definition video.

Quo Vadimus · September 12 2008, 12:01 AM

Excellent, thanks!

They're even offering some episodes for free! I downloaded BSG's "He That Believeth in Me" and it didn't cost me a thing! Yay!

More info here on which episodes:

Also, I've noticed that there is a problem with the shopping cart method. In some cases it won't let you download the free episodes. Others have reported that they get the SD version, but not the HD one. Turning the cart off and using '1-click' solves both of these problems.

I like the cart more than 1-click, but until I get these free episodes, I guess I'll leave it off.
