Amazon has HD one day streaming rentals for $4 to $5 that don't even really work half the time.

Buying TV episodes that cost $2 each ($3 for HD) ... times 24 episodes ($48 for a season, depending on the show, of course). Oh, and I guess you do get ten cents off for each episode if you do get the season. They all but force us to get the DVDs/Blu-Rays instead.

Obviously, there are people out there that buy these shows or movies ... otherwise they would've sold them for much cheaper by now. ]]>Jan 27th 2010 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/Paying per rental/ download is way too expensive. If I am going to pay for HD, I want full HD. And by full HD, I mean HD audio too, no 128kbps audio track.]]>Jan 27th 2010 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/+1 I agree totally. Why pay for SD when I can torrent a full HD movie and stream it to my PS3 anytime I want?]]>Jan 28th 2010 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/Jan 28th 2010 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/Jan 28th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-pushing-to-cut-the-prices-of-tv-episodes-on-itunes/
Movie trailers are still free to download in HD, so it's not bandwidth cost. It takes longer to download the HD version and you can't play HD video on as many devices, so it's actually less convenient. So why does it cost more?

My only guess is that, unfortunately, people are still buying them even with the extra cost. At least with Blu-ray discs there's a reason for the slightly higher price because the discs themselves cost more.]]>Jan 29th 2010 1:26PM
