Unfortunately, it seems that an actual DVD release may be somehow contingent on sales of these downloads, which strikes me as odd (If enough of us buy these low-resolution versions of the show, we might get an opportunity to buy the high-resolution versions?–not the best business model out there).
But you take what you can get–at least it’s out there officially now, and I don’t mind buying from iTunes. I find the video quality to be surprisingly watchable.
I’m so pissed off at them. I remember hearing one of them in interview saying it would be either itunes or a dvd release. I don’t like itunes and was hoping not to have any reason to use it, dammit. I don’t want to have to pay out twice (as I inescapably will if it rereleases on dvd); I don’t have any illusions about them getting all the money.
It was a very cute commercial-thing they made to announce the release, though.
Yeah, not to be all “I’m outta here!” about it, but fuck some Itunes downloads. Give me a real DVD that I can purchase and watch on my real TV, period.
Hey, iTunes may not be the ideal release, but it could be worse. I mean, it’s not like they’re going to kill the presiden-carried away by secret service men
