RSSMySpace to Offer Episodes of '24'
By the Betanews Staff | Published May 15, 2006, 4:53 PM
Social networking site MySpace will move into the digital download business next week when it begins offering users downloads of episodes from two seasons of "24." Additionally, the site would offer users the option to download two free episodes through a promotion sponsored by Burger King.
According to an article Monday in the Wall Street Journal, beginning May 22 downloads would be offered from a Burger King-themed page for $1.99 USD per download. News Corp. sees the offering as a way to exert more control over how it distributes its content, as well as a way to make MySpace more competitive with other portals. 24 seasons one and five would be available through the program, with the first episodes of each season available for free.
2 bucks for stuff.. although there will be NO ADs.. weeeeeeeee... Ummmm.. Am I the only one that can to math?.. Lord help us when we have to pay for each episode of what ever.. ** maby it will help product prices go down because they will not be paying for the adverts.. Doubt it. Adds will just change to "product placement ads".. Actualy a step back to the 50's ... but with out the benifits..

|Only seasons one AND five? I think I'll be sticking with Netflix so I can watch seasons two, three and four too.

|Just like any good drug, the first hit is free.
Watch 24 once or twice and you're hooked, especially the earlier seasons.

|With the amount of latency and errors I see from MySpace I won't be willing to gamble $1.99.
