iTunes quietly experimenting with video pricing?
After finally having added a few dozen new music videos at its standard $1.99 pricing to go along with the original batch of two thousand videos released last month, Apple appears to be quietly experimenting with different pricing points and methods of packaging its new videos. In a vivid example, the new single “Burn the Witch” from Queens of the Stone Age is a two-track single selling at the oddball price point of $2.49 (possibly the first item in iTunes history to sell at this particular price), and the second track just happens to be a music video.
Even more oddly, no mention is made of the video in either the Queens of the Stone Age section of the video store, or the “Just added” section of the video store. If you’ve noticed other oddities in music video pricing or placement (actual MTV-style music videos, not “behind the scenes” documentary-style footage), post a link to it in the comments section.
