      lol, insane price; even the SD is still a ridiculous $45. I'd gladly pay it for real discs, but not this intangible stuff. I'll take Blu-Ray, thanks, and give a resounding "nay" (or "neigh"?) to Apple's DRM-infested, probably 720p (doesn't seem to say) semi-HD.

      Silly Hasbro! Thinking so many people love it enough to pay that...
      Just come out with the DVD!
      People will buy that, unless the price is horribly unreasonable.

      Also, a custom pony-toy-generator would create a huge profit.
      Make a pony! Buy an exact model and have it custom made and shipped to you!

      I can see it now,,,

      I don't like Itunes in general. It is just way easier to use any other service. Their DRM is a a pain in the ass and their mp3 players are less convenient than the simple 30 dollar ones. Something about having to have a program installed just to move songs on my device is dumb, and such a clunky one at that. Dragging and dropping into custom folders has always been cleaner.

      Although they are pretty expensive I hope at least some people buy them to prove Hasbro the show is successful. I also hope this doesn't mean they will pull off the videos from YouTube.

      You know, considering the season is a whopping 26 episodes, I don't think the price is that out of the question. If Hasbro sees people putting down decent chunks of money for this, I imagine they'd be a lot more likely to keep the show running.

      I'd gladly put $70 down on a tangible product. If they released a Blu-Ray set of seasoon 1 priced at $80-100, I'd still buy it.

      But for DRM-crippled files limited to iCrap devices? Not my thing.

      I would much rather have a Bluray (and it would be in 1080p and not 720p) than these, but IF the Hub doesn't end up releasing one after season one, I'm going to buy them and decrypt them, and upload them for the WHOLE INTERNET.
      Only if they neglect to release a Bluray, though.

      you could just buy 1 or 2 eps for the sake of supporting the show and then get bluray wen they come out

      my fave ting about that pic is that there is a hole above fluttershy ware her legs should be meaning the pic was designed to have her have legs and then later she ended up not having them

      also if every brony bought 1 ep the sales would be high and Hasbro would see that the show is profitable = pony's will live on after season 1

      yeah its just black now
      i hope they re-up it with legs or find a replacement soon tho because the black background is kinda depressing wen its the store page for the most bright and colorful show im currently watching and to somebody that hasn't seen the show it could be like subconsciously misleading thinking its dark and not buying it for there kids or something

      Ha ha... Hasbro fail. I really hope it's Apple's fault that they're so expensive. I can't believe Hasbro would honestly think any sane person would pay this much for a show that's already available for free with their own blessing. The missing legs are just icing on the cake. It's like, "Yeah, we don't really give half a damn. And here's proof!"

      Even if it were cheaper, I'm not installing iTunes just for this. I don't actually own any portable video players, so there's no incentive at all.

      Come on, Hasbros. Just set up your own video download store on Hubworld. It's really not hard; hell, there are third-party tools out there for that sort of thing.

      I'm kind of amused by the idea that it's better to buy Blu-Ray because Apple's DRM and/or ecosystem are evil. Either way, you're looking at DRM and owning some proprietary device(s) and/or software to watch what you've got.

      (Does The Hub actually do HD broadcast in 1080i, or are the files circulating coming from an upscaled source? My DirecTV box happily upscales content instead of feeding native resolution for each channel, which keeps my TV from going blank and re-seeking every time the signal changes. If broadcast is 720p, do we know if those episodes are being rendered at 1080p and downscaled, or just delivered to the network as 720p? I'm wondering if Apple's just got what everyone else has.)

      The price annoys me because it's so far over the odds for 26 22-minute episodes on physical media. It's consistent with much of the store, but that doesn't make it better. The SD price is close enough, but I don't want to watch MLP in SD. I'd love to see these show up on Amazon, since their prices are a little more competitive.

      That said, I might take the plunge (or just budget $3/week for new episodes going forward, whatever) because I want Hasbro to keep making more. I'm already in Apple's ecosystem, and I have a Mac mini hooked up to the TV that's perfect for this. It used to be the case that toy sales were more relevant to the show staying on, but I don't know what the deal is anymore. Not that this has stopped me from buying toys.

      I just looked it up, and that 69 dollar thing is actually a better deal than buying everything separate. If all the episodes are 2.99 each, and there's supposed to be at least 26 episodes in the season (dunno where I heard that, but I think it's right), then 26 * $2.99 = $77.74
      ...
      Oh wait, episode 1 is free, so it'd actually be $74.75

      DAMN YOU APPLE, $5.75 OFF IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

      Of course, one could just rent them for 99 cents each. It'd be like 26 bucks, but you'd only have them for a limited time. Oh well, What are you going to do.

      Haha, they put up a new image, and just moved the characters around to hide it. Anyways I might go for it, since I have a $25 gift card for iTunes Plus I'm hoping that if Hasbro makes a good profit outta this, then they'll actually release legitimate dvds/blurays, if not for me then for the rest of my bronies.

      Which is why it's even more of a pain. Every time I want to rip everything off my ipod I have to download some 3rd party program to do it.

      My phone uses files and folders like everything else, its so much easier.

      I haven't touched an apple product since the Ipod video though, so I'm not sure if it changed at all.

      I won't buy any of those episodes. Yeah, I'll buy a future Bluray version (which might even come with extra goodies). I might even get this from a different place than iTunes, if it were offered.

      I will not, however, take advantage of this option. Not even to support a show I love. Instead, I might get one of the toys, and perhaps to a repaint.

      You do know that the only thing I download from iTunes are iPad apps, iPhone apps and free TV Shows and music. As for my music collection, I download them for free on MP3 websites. Besides, who would want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on music? I wouldn't.

      While everyone is freaking over the price bear in mind it's a season pass. Each episode is listed individually for $2.99 (rounding to $3 for simplicity) keeping in mind there's going to be about 26 episodes in the season 3x26= 69 so while the price may seem outrageous they're only charging you what you would end up paying if you were to buy each episode individually.

      If you didn't know, part of the money actually goes to iTunes and so yes, it is overpriced. Legitimate dvds would probably be much more affordable, even at the same price, it's a hard copy, you can re-sell it if you don't want it and there's usually bonues features or something else interesting. I think Itunes is really starting to rip people off anymore, considering the prices for individual downloads have gone up and I can't trust them after 5 of my friends had all their purchases and stuff lost before.
