See '''ITunes Videos/New''' for my initial changes. I feel that we should rename the article to be simply [[iTunes]] (is it possible now to have lowercase first letters in the title, [[w:iTunes|wikipedia does it]]) now that we are affiliated with them for the videos. I also feel that the page could be expanded to have a little more information and have a select few "download miniseries" small button type images. I also expect a "download episode" button to be placed on the episode pages but that goes beyond the scope of this article for the moment. Any furthar comments? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 10:55, 18 January 2007 (CST)

::A redirect will do for it, I think, since either should best point a curious person. It does look good. You might want to also add the Original Series as well, which is now available.

A template would be created something similar to this '''<nowiki>{{iTunes|imagetype|linkid}}</nowiki>''' so that the correct icon shows for whatever it is that you are linking to and the affiliate id is locked away in the template so people cannot mess with it. Here are my image ideas (also in use on /new/ page)

== NBC / Apple deal canceled ==
 
[http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/nbc-cancels-itunes-contract/ Bad news]
 
They have disagreements on the pricing. Basically NBC wants either more money or more control, but Apple sets the prices. And NBC is worried about piracy (yeah, like this move will decrease piracy). I don't know if that affects the older stuff available, but unless they get their act together, Season 4 won't be on iTunes. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 12:00, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
