macenstein.com — NBC may have decided it can launch its new Fall seasons without the help of the iTunes store, but it appears the other networks are lining up for some free publicity. This week no fewer than 3 high-profile shows are offering their season premieres on iTunes for free.

Yes, I can download it, but I can't play it on my computer or put it on my iPod. It is the number 1 music player, and you can't put their shows on it. They can go and f**k themselves because I am not going to watch their shows, and I am not going to torrent them either/

Yeah the Videos are extremely bloated, 800MBs for a single show WTF, I don't notice a huge quality jump from 300MB iTunes shows either. Plus they don't play well in Parallels (Like 15FPS) which makes them useless to me on my mac.

I don't quite get it. One min NBC is bitching about wanting to charge $3.99 at iTunes and now is giving it away for free. Eh?

I was just in a BLOCKBUSTER over the weekend and noticed that NBC was offering their Fall lineup episodes as a free DVD rentals - HAHA what a step backwards - wonder how much all those DVDs cost to print - not to mention the waste created

it makes sence, it is like giving a virtual free sample. if you like the taste you will buy more and maybe even the whole the box. the thing i am supprised by is that they are able to sell the show when some post them for free on their own website or myspace
