Hey,

What’s the deal? I only was able to watch about 2 minutes for free on amazon. Then they offered me the whole episode for 1.99. Any other free options besides waiting until tomorrow.

I pulled down the HD version from Amazon earlier and piped it through my son’s XBox. Just like watching an HD program on the DVR – with no commercial breaks. A perfect fix for a slip of the DVR Tuesday night. Thanks for the heads-up!

So. It’s no longer free. What’s up with that? iTunes and amazon are both charging $1.99 now!

[...] Unh-unh. No such luck, my friend. V is not available on either Hulu or ABC.com today. The pilot is, however, available for free on electronic sell-through sites Amazon VOD and iTunes (hat tip to TV by the Numbers). [...]

Well, at least ABC posted a time it would be available — November 7 (Saturday) “complete with commentary”. FWIW

Eric(Ohio): iTunes does have free stuff every week. Earlier this fall a lot of the pilots of the new shows were on. Also other shows have random episodes for free. there’s also a couple free songs every week. Not everything is the greatest, but hey it’s free and every once in a while you find a gem.

Thank you, Amazon (and iTunes!) — although the quality isn’t as good as on Hulu. My sister missed the pilot episode so now she has the chance to see it before next week’s new episdoe.

I enjoyed it, but it still has a long way to go to match the original. I posted my full review on my blog here:

Cell phones are even worse. AT&T will (or at least a few years ago) charge a few dollars for 5 minute clips of South Park. I guess it’s not surprising, considering they also expect you to pay 4 dollars for a ten second ringtone, when you can see the entire song on youtube for free.

Interesting…

There needs to be more free things out there.
I dont get how on my 360, I can download an episode of South Park for like 4$, or i can go to http://www.southparkstudios.com and watch it for free (with no commercials i think? or the only commercials are for south park things).

Itunes is the same. Why would I pay 5$ to skip watching 5 minutes worth of commercials from Hulu?
