BATTLESTAR GALACTICA returns to iTunes...in HD


"NBC is coming back to iTunes." (Big cheers) "The Office is coming back, Monk, Battlestar Galactica, 30 Rock... and they're coming back in HD."

- Steve Jobs at Apple's "Let's Rock" press conference today

Thanks reader Trace for the heads-up!

ETA: Here's more about the announcement. Here is the update on iTunes 8. Here is the link that goes directly to the Standard-Def Season 4.0 episode page. There is a separate page for High-Def. And, for the next two weeks: THE ENTIRE EPISODE 403, "HE THAT BELIEVETH IN ME," IS FREE OF CHARGE TO DOWNLOAD.

The BSG episodes I used to download from Itunes never looked as good as the ones I downloaded from Amazon Unbox. Other than the quality, they were the same, price and all. I wonder if this means that NBCU is dropping the deal with Unbox or if they'll sell both places.

HD sounds great but I don't have the TV or monitor for it so it's kinda lost on me. :(((((

Anyone know if the "Buy All Episodes" option in iTunes for "Battlestar Galactica Season 4 HD" will include the remainder of season 4 to be released in '09?

I'm a cheapskate but $26.91 seems cheap compared to other services.

"Buy all episodes" means "all episodes listed". It's not the same as the "add season" button on (for example) BSG Season 3.
