you still have the 30% going to apple which replaced the retail costs.
Carnivàle was a great series: scary, fascinating, mind-bending and absolutely intriguing.
We've already got both seasons on DVD but it's nice to have this option too since we keep lending the discs to friends.
720p & 1080i & 1080p are all considered HD. I'm sure if 1080p becomes available, there will be a way to distinguish the format.
Oh goodie
Can someone please give me some more info on how I might be able to pay more than twice the amount of a years subscription on one season of one stinking show ?
Cause ..I'm an Apple crazed lunatic frothing at the mouth to give Steve Jobs all my money without thinking.
I have no concept of value and was thinking about throwing two $20 dollar bills into the street ...............But HEY ....I can buy these overpriced shows to fill up gigs on my iPad .....FOR NO REASON
Yaaaaaaeeeyyy !![]()
And most of all, once you have elevated your existence from shut-in to productive, dignified human being, you'll understand that your time on this earth is actually valuable, and you'll become more annoyed by the time-wasting nonsense that comes with watching Blu-Ray discs: loading up discs, cueing up partially-watched episodes, navigating menus, sitting through interminable and unskippable content (trailers, merchandise commercials, piracy warnings, and my personal favorite, commentary track disclaimers). And you'll realize - again, keep in mind that your time will be actually worth something in this scenario - that you might even be willing to pay a little extra to avoid all that.
Or you can save $70 and watch it on Netflix.

is it past seasons only or ongoing seasons?
One step closer to pulling the plug on my enormous cable bill each month.

Why would anyone buy this from iTunes? You can get a physical copy for much cheaper.
Unfortunately, only past seasons.
I wish. No current seasons for HBO/Showtime and no sports are keeping me from pulling the plug too.
Not sure what planet you live on, but HBO costs $20-$30 per months - not per year. If I buy True Blood for $40 a season, Dexter for $35, and Weeds for $35 I have come out ahead by about $250 a year.
It's not about being a "crazed lunatic frothing at the mouth" over Apple. It's about paying for what I want and not paying extra for crap I do not watch. It's obscene that I have to upgrade two packages from Comcast just to get Comcast Sports Net and Versus to watch my local teams.
Once they switch to an à la carte-type pricing - which they NEVER will - I will downgrade and pay for only what I watch.

I wouldn't buy whole seasons, but it's an option for people who usually watch the broadcast but miss an episode here and there.

I think you'd be better off if someone geve you more info on how to forge a productive, meaningful life for yourself, and those other questions will answer themselves. For instance, once you move out of your parents' basement and start paying your own cable bill, you'll notice that HBO costs $200-$300 a year, not $20-$30 a year as you seem to think, and their shows have historically had very lo-o-o-ong hiatuses, so if you're only subscribing to HBO for two or three of their shows, it's probably cheaper in the long run to buy them, even at iTunes prices.
And once you move to an actual multi-room dwelling with - gasp - maybe a spouse and kids, you'll find quite a bit of value to having your content readily available on multiple devices, and not tethered to an optical disc and whatever TV you happen to have a Blu-Ray player connected to.
And most of all, once you have elevated your existence from shut-in to productive, dignified human being, you'll understand that your time on this earth is actually valuable, and you'll become more annoyed by the time-wasting nonsense that comes with watching Blu-Ray discs: loading up discs, cueing up partially-watched episodes, navigating menus, sitting through interminable and unskippable content (trailers, merchandise commercials, piracy warnings, and my personal favorite, commentary track disclaimers).

Yeah I could stay in my parents basement seeing as I bought the house.
You seem to know a lot about me.
Tell me about my eyes you sweet man....
All joking aside, how are you paying 20-30 per year for HBO? Once Brighthouse raised my price to $18 per month ($216 per year) I dumped HBO.
3,99 for one episode??? that's like 49 $ for a whole 12 episode season, u can get the same for like 35 $ on BluRay. studios r stuck in 1990 or sth

Anyway, still a silly move to buy a TV show this way. Just my opinion.
HBO’s programming has often been some of the most popular content available on the iTunes Store. This is bound only to continue, especially now that all of HBO’s content is now available in HD!
HBO fans looking for higher-quality content are sure to be excited that this popular programming is now available in HD. Among the shows available in the higher definition format are: Big Love, Carnivale, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Deadwood, Entourage, Hung, Rome, and True Blood, although this list is not definitive, and there are other shows available in HD as well.
As with the majority of HD content within the iTunes Store, each episode costs $1 USD more than their standard-resolution counterparts. Most of this content is priced at $3.99 per episode for high definition, and $2.99 for standard definition, though some shows are less expensive.
