Now iTunes users and iPod owners can take away episodes of the Sopranos and Sex and the City thanks to a new deal Apple has inked with HBO. Another bunch of shows on iTunes is not such a big deal, but there is a big change under the hood. Apple has moved away from its fixed pricing model and offers the HBO titles at $1.99 and $2.99 per episode.
Rome, The Sopranos and Deadwood come in at the higher price, while The Wire, Sex and the City and Flight of the Conchords are all at the old standard $1.99 price point. Given that Apple's lack of flexibility on pricing was the reason for NBC ditching iTunes (plus the fact that NBC is jumping into bed with just about everybody else), this could mean that Battlestar Galactica might be coming back to the iTunes Store.
