Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 | 67 comments

From Engadget’s coverage of this morning’s Apple presentation:

Just in time for couch season, Apple has busted out iTunes 8 with a slew of new features, like the Genius sidebar. Also, NBC is back on board with its lineup of TV shows. According to Jobs, The Office is coming back, Monk, Battlestar Galactica, 30 Rock… and they’re coming back in HD.

UPDATE: download Fun Run for FREE (next two weeks only)! And that’s both the standard AND high-definition versions!

You can purchase Seasons 1-4 now: Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4

   It does not seem to be any season pass for season 5. Is it going to be available soon?

   Goodbye, The Sims 2. I had to delete it to fit Fun Run on my hard drive. And by the way, I’m the top iTunes reviewer for S4! My name is TobySucksRocks and I’m pretty impressive with my reviewing, if I do say so myself. Check it out! :)

   If the HD version is really choppy, the video card on your computer may not be able to handle the big file. :( Try playing it with only iTunes open and see if it works!

   [from tanster: ah, okay. thanks! :) ]

   I use the shopping cart on iTunes so I added Fun Run to it today but for some reason it’s saying that it is unavailable to download. Anyone know why?

    #52(Katie) – I was having the same problem. I ended up turning off my shopping cart feature and just using the 1-click purchasing… it worked the next time I tried it. Good luck!

    OMG this is so exciting!!! I have seasons 1-3 on my iPod and always used to get season passes but obviously couldn’t last season. So excited! :)

    Is anyone having trouble downloading ‘Fun Run’? I can add it to my cart but when I try to download it, it says “Unavailable”.

    I just wanted to add that when you purchase the HD version, you will also get the SD (standard def) download simultaneously. As far as I can tell, the HD can only be viewed on your computer. Your iPod will launch the SD version. You can’t view HD episodes on your iPod.

    Kristine, they should be on forever now. NBC initially wanted Apple to increase prices, but Apple stayed firm, so NBC took its ball to play elsewhere. They started hulu, but obviously they’d gain more revenue by crawling back to Apple, so it appears they swallowed their pride and did just that.

    The last few Season 4 episodes will remain on NBC.com until just before premiere, then once the show starts only Season 5 episodes will be free online. The same applies to Hulu.com.
