About LinkBacksAlmost slipped pass our radar... Apple just released multi-pass feature in iTunes where you pay $9.99 for the current episode + the next 15 episodes of a tv show. It seems to be a trial release prior to a full-fledged release by April (?). This is almost like a subscription service, but you get to keep the downloaded shows. Looks like all signs point to a full-movie download service and subscription service by April....along with a video iPod?

Re: iTunes 16 tv episodes for $9.99 ... multi-pass released Wow, thanks for the heads-up! This sounds like a great value, especially since you get to keep the shows. Have to take a closer look at this...

Re: iTunes 16 tv episodes for $9.99 ... multi-pass released For now, it's applicable to two Comedy Central shows; The Colbert Report and The Daily Show. Dave at TUAW says "think of it as a paid podcast".
Could it be that after Jon Stewart's Oscar hosting, someone felt it would hard to sell his show on ITMS, so they applied a multi-pass?
A multipass makes sense for these types of shows, since they air daily, 13" MacBook Air 1.7GHz 256GB • 21.5-inch iMac 3.06GHz/16GB RAM • 11" MacBook Air 1.4GHz 64GB • Mac mini (Mid 2010) 8GB RAM • 8GB (PRODUCT)™ RED nano 4th gen + Nike+ Sport Kit • 32GB iPhone 4S • 2TB Time Capsule (dual-band) + APExpress (n) • 32GB iPad WiFi+3G

Re: iTunes 16 tv episodes for $9.99 ... multi-pass released Dave Chappelle's For What It's Worth stand-up comedy event looks like good value at $1.99 considering it's almost a full hour long.
Most of the $1.99 downloads clock in at less than 30 minutes.
EDIT: On an unrelated note, I just downloaded the advanced copy of Pearl Jam's new single "Worldwide Suicide" for free from their website. Doncha just love free stuff.Last edited by vicicasas; 03-09-2006 at 10:26 AM.
