for a long while as i look at my TV shows I have felt bad that the UK and Asia have not had shows. Finally I can watch my shows somewhat guilt free.
Too bad those British nutters can't spell Programs!
Good news in the short term, and it should do quite well.
I still worry that this business model is not the way the industry is going, though...
You sir are an idiot, firstly for hating a perfectly good country, and secondly for saying a country deserves to pay more on itunes.
Why? i think it is one of the best countries, yeh we have to pay a little more but we do earn quite a bit.
We do get free health care, it may not be that good, but ok for free!
Surely, if you're from the UK originally, you'll realise Britain isn't a country - and therefore, by definition, can't be a "crap country" as you say.Though Britain is a crap country, so they deserve it ( and originally from UK too ).
Are you a member of this labour government's propaganda squad
Yeah it's one of the best countries for being the worst, you name it, teenage pregnancies, druggies, drinking, violence, crime, benefit fraud, health, being a child, litter, social cohesion etc, you name it, you'd struggle to find such a top achiever as us (Blighty) in all the "Worst of" tables anywhere in the developing world.
Makes you proud hey
Britain - Land of ASBO glory!
For free healthcare read shoddy, dirty healthcare. Don't fall for the NHS is great propaganda, go check out some other European countries and realise (considering the taxes the middle classes pay) that we live in a rapidly declining dump! - no wonder record numbers of people are leaving each year.

I won't be using iTunes for TV shows. Maybe if they'd been even £1.29 I'd have been tempted, but at £1.89 it's just a bloddy rip off.![]()

Unfortunately the traditional British stoical attitude seems to have morphed into abject negativity, fuelled by the media.
Only here would exam pass grades get better year on year only to have the media say the exams are too easy rather than admit education may actually be better!
Its no wonder the favourite place is the pub - drown the sorrows!
Exams: Its a no win situation - exams pass rate rises and exams are getting easier ; if they fall, teachers aren't doing their job, and the students are slacking.
Its never generally seen as: teachers are great, students are achieving, and thus education standards are rising..
Negativity all round!!
you forgot Fawlty Towers mate
Complete series (12 episodes) at www.dvd.co.uk for £15.95. Just throw it into Handbrake.
I'm surprised the lack of British content... no doubt they'll follow in time. It'll be interesting to see BBC content up there... a BBC show appears just after the time that its broadcast on TV... and Apple expect you to pay for the show again... after already paying for it with the BBC license fee! Being charged twice. Better hope the BBC iPlayer appears on the Mac sooner than later. The iPlayer surely would be the preferred media for watching BBC shows for this reason?
I was really looking forward to being able to download TV programs from iTunes in the UK. Unfortunately after looking at the prices I am beginning to have second thoughts. For a complete season/series of Lost (23 episodes) it costs £32.99 GBP to download via iTunes (about $61). I can buy the DVD for £34.99, have a much better quality picture and something can be played on any DVD player.
Does apple just remove the $ sign and replace it with a £.
RIP OFF BRITAIN![]()
£5.52 an hour...
Actually if you work for a living you do not get free health care at all. Both you and your employer make National Insurance Payments.

Does it mean anything extra that (selected) UK journalists are being asked to attend the BBC studios at 6pm to watch the LIVE feed of Apple Special Event?
Obviously big news![]()
They often show keynotes from the BBC studios for the British press who cant make it to California. The UK is the 2nd or 3rd biggest market for Apple so large scale press coverage here is important for them too.
yeah, i thought they did it in the past, but this obviously means that it's going to be big news..
as usual, i can't wait!! our second baby is due in the next 2 weeks, so could theoretically be any time soon!!
hope not on the evening (uk time) of sept 5th though![]()
Haha, you really think so?
We get hit with ridiciously taxes and other crap that we'll loose a lot of our yearly wage.
There is some very highly paid jobs in Britain yes, but that doesn't speak for the nation as a whole. The average wage in Britain is £18,000 ($36,000).
"Nikelodeon, MTV, Paramound Comdey"
Heh. I guess we really do spell things different here.
? Oh and that price isn't so bad, not even the cost of two songs. If you're in the UK, you must be used to be getting ripped off in this way by now~
