    I call bullshit. Where can you buy entire seasons of TV shows on DVD for $0.99? Name the store.

    Netflix.

    With a two to three-day turnaround time, I can get a dozen DVDs a month of TV shows (entire seasons' worth) for the basic Netflix subscription. If I step up the subscription, I can have several dozen DVDs come through my house, which I can then load on to my iPod Touch.

    Plus, I can watch as many of the online TV seasons as I want. It comes to much, much, much less than $0.99 per episode.
