This week Microsoft announced that it will start selling TV episodes though its Zune Marketplace.
One of the partnered networks is none other than NBC.
Now remember back, way back, to well… last December in fact, when the contract between Apple and NBC expired, and NBC made Apple pull all of NBC’s television episodes from iTunes?

For what reason you might ask - a pricing dispute. Apple wasn’t prepared to be ‘flexible’ with NBC’s pricing structure.Apple stuck to its guns with its $1.99 USD pricing structure per episode and NBC walked out on them.
The irony in all of this? NBC is now selling their episodes of T.V shows in the Zune Market Place for how much? $1.99 USD, the same price of which it was selling the episodes in Apple’s iTunes store.

Has NBC woken up? Are the afraid to admit defeat? Leave a comment and tell us what you think
