CNET has an interesting post about the price point of TV shows in Apple’s iTunes. What’s interesting is that they’re looking to drop the price per episode down to $0.99 from $1.99.

It’s interesting to note how this type of content delivery impacts other media. For example, mp3 vs. CD’s, and now digital episodes vs. DVD. What really gets me though, is this: Is it worth paying for an episode at all when you can watch it for free on hulu or a network’s website? This is of course not true for all shows, but it is true for most general prime-time shows. Additionally, what about these shows being DVR’ed, or available for free on many cable providers’ on-demand services? It seems the only thing they can’t compete with is the portability aspect of watching an episode on a mobile device (and without an internet connection).
