Comments on: Will you pay $3--or more--for TV episodes on iTunes?

HBO becomes the first network to break the $2 per episode barrier on iTunes. But is anybody willing to pay extra for the network's shows?

I already pay for cable , so it is real easy to record to my HDD with a video capture card....then burn to DVD if I want.
Apple preys on people who have no tech skills. Oh Mr Genius bar guy...can you install my $500 Apple-RAM ? Bwhahahahaha !!!!

Would I buy them for $3 per episode? No. I don't even buy DVD set's that are more then $40 and those usually have extra stuff.

If someone would create a subscription of like 30 episodes per month for $10 I would be all over that assming it was playable on the big screen TV and not just a computer. Of course it wouldn't work if it was a single studio, but someone like iTunes or Hulu would be great as long as they had full archives of episodes and a good selection.

I might even splurge for the $15 / 50 episode package so I could watch old episodes of MacGyver and Airwolf whenever I wanted without interrupting the latest weekly shows that I like such as Battlestar Galactica and Chuck.

No I won't pay that. $2 per show is MORE than enough. In fact the shows should be .99 like the songs.
