iTunes, now with silly pricing

Apple is making a big deal about their new deal with NBC to make more shows available on iTunes. Most of the classic shows cost as much as the current ones ($2 each), which is understandable from Apple's one-price-fits-all model.

But some aren't. You can get the one-hour "Late Night with Conan O'Brien 10th Anniversary Special" on iTunes for $10. You can buy the same show on DVD at Amazon for $1 more (plus shipping, of course). The DVD has bonuses on it, can be played on devices bigger than an iPod or computer screen, comes in packaging, and on an on.

Guess which is the better deal? Posted by lookit at December 6, 2005 12:56 PM
