HD Downloads Starting to Appear in UK iTunes Store
Macworld reports that the first high-definition video downloads have appeared on the UK iTunes Store. The first two episodes of the fifth season of the hit TV show Lost are now available at a cost of 2.49 per episode, with a season pass available for 41.99. Macworld also notes that a free "Lost Starter Kit" is available in high-definition as well.
High-definition TV show downloads were introduced as part of iTunes 8 at Apple's "Let's Rock" media event, but availability has been limited to the US iTunes Store since that time.

Its a shame the price is so high, but then we are paying a lot for SD content as it is. iTunes video would really take off if the prices came down. I reckon the studios have more to do with these prices than Apple. They want to protect their DVD sales and not give control to Apple.

Well it is about time that we had it, but it is still way to expensive, but what can we do. Would also be nice if the shows were released the same time as US as well, but that's asking for too much. Feel much better after that moan :D

:eek: US$3.50?!? Jesus! :eek:
Keep in mind that HD shows are $2.99 in the US, so while there is a price premium in the UK, it's not that huge.

And those of us in Ireland still get no TV and no movies on iTunes.
Beat me to it. Yet still Apple are quite happy to flog AppleTVs in Ireland... I wonder how many they sell?! (Yes, I know you can do other things with AppleTVs... but are they really worth €375 without the ability to buy TV shows and movies?)[ Read All Comments ]
