They're refunding the price you paid. You're able to apply that to The Final Season, if you want, effectively getting you each season at $12. Are you still gonna complain about that?

Lawsuit!?!? Really!?!?!
What kind of looser puts a lawsuit together over this kind of problem!?? What a waste of everyone's time including mine for having to read that someone was suing Apple because they lost out on what... $12?!?!? Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having listened to this story.
I can only imagine the plaintiff pacing around in their apartment thinking of diabolical ways to get back at Apple for their massively devastating loss.
It only shows what a pathetic waste of life this person is and what kind of country we live in. Wasting tax payers money to get their couple of bucks back.
If I were the judge I would throw my gavel at the plaintiffs face. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul!

No, you really don't. It's trite garbage. But good on Apple for making this move.
Do it! You will not regret it. This season has the been the most exciting season that I can remember in years from any series I have watched. It'e been amazing.
What's to prove? They're a store that sells content provided by content providers. They don't write any promotional copy or product descriptions any more than they write the show.
I disagree. The fact is that Apple has become a platform for everything. It's easier to register discontent with Apple and let their actions propagate good will across the nation. Their reaction will reverberate across every TV and PC ad nausiem.
But if you do the math, the two half seasons cost about $8 more than the previous seasons do on iTunes. When "Season 5" went up with no indication that it was only the first half for $22 — about $5 LESS than the previous seasons — I was like, "Hey, what a great deal!" But no, I was actually getting gouged for an additional $8 without knowing it yet.
That's why I was annoyed about it — with AMC.
I don't think there's any sane way of looking at a full refund as anything other than above and beyond good customer service on Apple's part.

It's terrific. While I thought the first couple of seasons were good-not-great, in season 3, it kicked into overdrive and never let up.
Disagree? What can you disagree with?... What happened to calling when you have a problem until you reach a the customer service representative's manager? Then the manager's manager? Until you get your personal problem solved?
You don't get my point... The lawsuit is weak, it represents a weakness this country has. It is a pathetic "make me money" frivolous lawsuit. The judge would throw this garbage out regardless of whether it was a right or wrong issue. The plaintiff is easily described: Someone who's mommy has done everything for them their entire life and when they don't get their way they call mommy, or in this case, their lawyer.
I don't care if Apple/AMC was in the wrong here, or if they were ok in doing what they did, or if their response was proper and in good faith... What I do care about is this looser posting up a lawsuit over their loss of an incredibly small amount of money. What a waste of taxpayer's money!
In the case of The Hobbit, this is how every DVD release in the series was and is. This is a completely different title on shelves and probably shouldn't be upgradeable - it's not an "iTunes Deluxe" version or something.

It was advertised as including the entire finale of Breaking Bad in May of 2012. If you take the time to go back and read before accusing people of asking for something they don't deserve, you will understand.

How ironic, maybe you can't read?
----------
It's one thing to not like the show but you really have to have a strong bias against it to even attempt to call it trite garbage.
----------
That's a waste of taxpayer's money? Giving citizens that were actually misled a chance to try their case? The real waste of taxpayer money was on phonetic spelling in public schools...now nobody in this country under 30 can spell lose or loser.
Why did people think they were going to get to watch the entire season when the 2nd half wasn't even on TV yet? I think it's crap how AMC labeled their season, there was a year breaK in between and should have just called it season 6 to avoid confusion. But I'm sure the contracts were written for 5 seasons or whatever.
Two possibilities you have no idea what trite means or you have never watched Breaking Bad...
To be clear you are entitled to your opinion. You can call the show garbage, if that is what you believe. There is just not a definition of trite that can be logically applied to the show Breaking Bad.
By taking the refund you give up the right to participate in the lawsuit. You have essentially settled out of court.
AMC appears to be the greedy party in this case; Apple did the right thing here, potentially saving themselves a lot of unneeded headache, as well as fostering some more goodwill with their iTunes customers.
They may very well have some legal recourse against AMC, but I doubt they'll go there. They'll absorb this relatively small amount, and will be more diligent with future season designations by content owners/creators.
When you buy a season pass, it says you're buying all current and future episodes. There is zero indication how many you will eventually actually get.
