NBC Universal Returns to iTunes

[Hermiod]

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.

but what's with the new price of $2.99 per episode?? that's crap!

 

[Top41]

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]

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

 

[Quo Vadimus]

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

 

[Hermiod]

^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]

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!

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.
