$2 for a show hurts when you can often get a season of whatever when it's on sale for about $1 to $1.50 an episode. Plus, you have the physical media that you can do whatever with. You aren't locked into any DRM or special size or format. And, yes, I am getting spoiled by HD content, but still, a DVD is pretty decent quality, and probably much better than the average pay per download item. I am also not an itunes user, so I don't know for sure. But there's nothing compelling about downloading compressed audio or non HD video for me, so I don't see need.
I have downloaded stuff on my Xbox 360, and yes, it's DRM'd but I HAD to watch some missing episodes of a show, and I guess I'd rather pay for it than install some trojan filled torrent program on my computer. Oh well, someone got my money...
Btw, anyone try out Hulu.com? I caught an episode of Battlestar Galactica that I forgot to DVR. The quality sucked for my theater screen, but at least I didn't have to pay for it and I didn't have to pirate it either. Oh, but I did have to endure about 1 min of Crest Toothpaste commercials during the show. I can take that. Hey Hulu, where's the HD??
Yeah, I am spoiled now....
