And the video/TV downloads are 320x240! Come on. Why would I pay $1.99 to download a postage stamp size version of a show to watch on a tiny screen when I can record the HD (1280x720) version and watch on my big TV?


Thats the part I'm disappointed about. If it was at least DVD quality, I'd be all over buying Lost right now and watching it, as I haven't seen it. $1.99 an episode, or #34.99 for season 1 comes in cheeper then me going down to Best Buy for the DVD box set. As far as the DRM, I'd actually be willing to live with it in this case, as this would save me the hassle of needing to rip my DVDs to make the content portable to my laptop.

I do think it is a promising first step though, and I hope Apple looks to increase the quality down the road. They at least have gotten one content producer willing to test the waters of internet distribution. I think Apple's main concern is download length and size.
