24, Season 6

£34.99 ... this is such a rip off!!!! Its cheaper in ANY high street store!

Very addictive indeed. But as a matter of pure curiosity, does anyone know why itunes only feature seasons 1 and 6? Isn't there some numbers missing here, and why? I have heard so much good about season 5 that I am really keen to get it. And I prefer the digital format to the dvds (shame about the price difference though!)! Thanks.

If I were to award stars on the series alone (even the later ones that are not as good as the earlier series), i would give this 5 stars. But I feel I have to comment on the service that series is being provided by. Downloading is great! It's legal, and you can build a fantastic library that's available everywhere you and your Apple gear goes. But....who in their right mind is going to pay almost double just so they can download it? Not many people. The DVD box-set is available at great prices out there, and you can easily 'back them up' to your iTunes library if needed. This isn't a 'new', breakthough series that you can't get anywhere else... Apple, I have no idea if you read these comments, but people like me do (i.e. Customers). This service DESERVES to take off in the UK, please don't shoot yourselves in the foot by killing it with ridiculous pricing.

OMG. This is entertainment at its best. I had never watched any of the previous seasons but am now on a mission to buy them all (hopefully not all off itunes!). The intensity of the action is superb. Get this now if you haven't seen it.

where is the rest of the series 2, 3, 4, 5??? not fair if you've only just go into it!!!

But at twice the price of a hard copy, still work to be done by iTunes UK. Fot those that place a 200% premium on downloading instead of buying discs online I'm sure you'll enjoy this

Why you may ask, would i put a title such a this? Let me explain...since the first episode of this brilliant programme was first aired, I have been hooked. I am not alone. My fellow 24 fans and I find each series captivating, exciting and, as one other reviewer put it, sublime. They introduce characters just at the right moment in every season, they take characters out at the most unexpected moments in every season and they leave the highly engaged viewer in a complete state of limbo when the episode finishes with the now synonymous beeps. My fellow fans equally, are the ones who, maybe not immediately but eventually, always go and buy the dvd box sets. I remember paying about £40 for my first box set - then i learned patience. My second 24 box set i bought for just £28. I remeber thinking this was a bargain but as time as gone on, dvd's have got cheaper and this, my good readers is the reason for my post on here. The price iTunes are charging is hiddeously and disgustingly inflated. I have just bought Season 6 of 24 on DVD, brand new for £15.99 and no, it wasn't from a chinese guy with a black bag slung over his shoulder! I have also recently purchased a piece of 3rd party software for removing the content of my new box set dvd's and creating a sparkly new mp4 file in 640 x 380 size with stereo sound. The file size is almost identical to the ones you download. Simply import into iTunes, transfer to iPod and bob's your mother's brother. Now I have the advantage of watching at home or on the go. iTunes folks would probably argue that my way is labour intensive and will take longer than downloading....not so say I. Admittedly, I have a fairly new PC so the processor is bi or dual or whatever it is, and i have 2gb's of ram (get me..........what does it mean) but i put it to the test for the purposes of writing this. I have paid for and downloaded this silly price itunes version and on an 8mb broadband line on which i average about 3.5 - 4.5mb speeds, it has so far taken 26 hours and I'm on episode 21. Downloading isn't too bad but the file processing once it's downloaded is shockingly slow - even with this computer. I bought the box set, bought the software and disc by disc, added the content to my computer and i completed it all, including importing and transferring to my iPOD in 9 hours at the best quality i could. If i had done it in 320 x 240, which to be honest, you can get away with on the 5th gen iPods, i could have completed it in about 5 hours. When will the guys at iTunes learn that their customers cannot be treated in this way? It's disgusting. We are paying DOUBLE what our friends over the Atlantic are. We are paying DOUBLE what most internet and high strret shops are charging for DVD versions and there is only so long they can get away with it. (Pause for a great tip - if any of you have friends or relatives in the states or with a bank account in the states, do a deal with them whereby you transfer money into their account (simple to do through paypal) once a month and in return, you use their american itunes account.....you can then download stuff from that site for use over here - i have a deal with my brother in law and it works great. I buy what i want from there and he buys music he wants from here!!! Give it a go! Anyway............) My advice is simple. Get the software, find the box set cheaper, do whatever you have to do but seriously, 'IF YOU LIKE 24 - DON'T BUY THIS'

another reason not to have sky. if only itunes had season passes in the uk..

quite simply amazing i was talked into watching 24 at 1st as it didnt appeal but my god i got instantly hooked its a must must must try watch it from season 1 and i promise ull want to do nothing other than sit and watch each episode 1 after another 5 star plus

fantastic, tense and gritty pure genius! great to see it on itunes if only it was cheaper!
