a TV episode is 1,99 for SD and 2,99 for a HD version.. count the number of episodes and you will see that for the price of the whole season you get one episode for free!

but, since you Yankees don’t know that, there is a lot more

every country has it’s own store.. so here, in the Netherlands, we don’t even have movies or tv shows. it’s been promised we would have it 2 years ago but nope.. the only way to get into the US store is to use an American adress when you register, hotels would be a good thing, and then purchase with gift cards you buy from the internet.. i might be wrong, but i think it’s not really legal

at the same time, take a look at the Canadian store and see how different it is from the US one.. it is all about marketing, advertising and what not.. it is THE reason piracy exists.. people want to watch the shows that sites like tv.com are talking about but they can’t.. it’s not broadcasted in their country or availbale on iTunes..

yet, i have no problem buying the whole season package on Amazon or even at the local store here, but that is all old news.. it’s only availbale when the season is over and iTunes is simply cashing in on the NOW factor our society demands.. paying big bucks or just plain illegal, but we want everything right now!
