Myspace to sell Episodes of '24' next week

[CraKaJaX]

If this is a repost, sorry. I know there are a lot of 24 fans here...

NEW YORK ? News Corp.'s MySpace.com will begin selling episodes of Fox's "24" next week as part of a plan to turn the popular teen Web site into a business rivaling Yahoo Inc.

(YHOO) and Apple Computer Inc.'s (AAPL) iTunes, according to the Wall Street Journal. MySpace, one of the fastest growing Web properties, will begin selling episodes of the show "24" for $1.99 per episode from seasons one and five, the report said.

Two free episodes of the show will also be available, sponsored by Burger King Holdings, according to the Journal.

In recent months, TV networks have rushed to make their shows available for sale on iTunes for $1.99, including News Corp. (NWS)-owned Fox, which sealed a deal to sell shows on the service last week.

A spokesman for News Corp. could not be reached for comment

at what 24 episodes a season x 1.99 = $47.76 (plus any hidden costs like tax and or shipping)

Isn't that about what it costs to buy it at the store?

Plus, I doubt they're going to have sales.

Why pay for it when I can download it for free?

i'd never go for a download of a series. a box set if u really like it is the way to go

It's actually cheaper for the DVD boxset than to pay $1.99/ep.

Let's see...download a (presumably) low-resolution copy for $1.99 per episode, or record a perfect 1280x720 digital copy over the air for free...difficult choice there
