After weeks of pricing disagreements with the Internet's largest digital video supplier, iTunes, NBC has announced that none of the NBC Universal shows (including shows on NBC, Bravo, USA, and Sci Fi) will be available on iTunes any longer, including The Office. NBC claims that they did not want to renew their contract with Apple which expires in December due to Apple's lack of flexibility, while Apple claims that NBC wanted a "dramatic price increase" and they just wouldn't have it. No matter what the truth is... no more of The Office on my iPod.... NOOOOOOO! NBC will be moving its shows to the Amazon's Unbox, which is not iPod compatible (it only works with products such as the Zen). Thanks to the positive buzz on iTunes about The Office, the show gained a lot of popularity. It is unclear whether or not the shows will be available on iTunes to purchase until December 2007. NBC and Apple are both telling different stories.
Bottom Line: Buy The Office on iTunes while you still can!
