Why itunes is shit

[karohemd]

I randomly followed a link from the Radio Times site which advertised Justified Season 1 for £1 (which I haven't been following but is apparently very good) and thought, "for a quid, I'll buy that without torrenting it first". Turns out the link lied and a single episode is 2.49(!).
I then checked other series and found out that most are more expensive as a freaking download from itunes you can't use anywhere else than the Blu-ray boxed set and not just on amazon or play.com but even the RRP.
For example, House Season 6 HD is £48.99 on itunes, the RRP Blu-ray boxed set is 44.99 (DVD 34.99), on amazon 30 and 24 quid respectively.

Add to that all the DRM and non-compatibility issues, why would anyone buy anything from itunes? Or at least TV series?

Fuck you, Apple, you're not getting my money.

I don't use it much (except for itunes exclusive stuff I really want) so I'm not sure. All the series I checked were similarly priced, though.
