I had some family over this weekend and I looked at some shows on iTunes to purchase. I forgot how ridiculously priced seasons were for TV shows. For most seasons of TV shows it was priced from $35-45 with HD content ranging from $40-70.
Now, it looked like they took the standard $1.99 for non-HD content per episode and $2.99 per HD content per episode and just added them together. It’s rather ridiculous to assume people would pay for this content when you can simply wait for it to arrive on physical media. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen any Bluray sets more than $55 lately.
I don’t know how companies feel they’re justified in charging the consumer that much for something that’s digital. I understand bandwidth costs etc etc, but it feels to me they are out pricing their digital model to drive people away from it and stick to physical media.
