HBO and Apple have announced that programming from HBO is now available for purchase and download on the iTunes Store . And, as rumored, the programs have a slightly different pricing structure than has been common for TV shows at the iTunes Store.
New HBO programs on iTunes include The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Deadwood, Rome, Flight of the Conchords and The Wire. Sex and the City: The Movie premieres in theaters on May 30, and in preparation for the movie’s debut, fans can choose any or all 94 episodes from the entire six seasons of the program.
Television shows purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Store can be viewed on a Mac or PC, iPod nano with video, iPod classic, iPod touch, fifth generation iPod, iPhone or on a widescreen TV with Apple TV. Sex and the City, The Wire and Flight of the Conchords are US$1.99 per episode, and The Sopranos, Deadwood and Rome are priced at $2.99 per episode. iTunes customers can also choose to purchase entire seasons of their favorite programs.
iTunes 7.6.2 for Mac and Windows includes the iTunes Store and is available as a free download. Purchase and download of songs and videos from the iTunes Store requires a valid credit card from a financial institution in the country of purchase. Television shows are available in the US, UK, Canada and Germany, and video availability varies by country.
