iTunes and NBC make nice, hardly acknowledge sticking it to the fans for the past year

Yeah, so NBC and iTunes patched things up, and you can buy The Office (and 30 Rock, Battlestar Galactica and a bunch of other Peacock shows) for your iPod again.
I’m not going to go crazy cheearleading this move. It was dumb to split like they did a year ago. Now they’re back together. Big whoop. I can’t tell you how much money I saved since then. It was such an anti-customer feud that I’m loath to even give the reunion much free publicity.
But then there is a bright side: freebies. Go to iTunes now and you can download free episodes of several shows in both standard and HiDef versions, which are now available for $2.99 – a complete rip-off if you ask me.
I grabbed every one that interested me, and I didn’t spend a penny on anything else while I was there.
Here’s the first link from a reputable outlet that I came across, if you’re curious about the details. Don’t look for any apologies there, though.
