The Super Bowl on iTunes… sorta

Super Bowl XLI The first thought that may jump to your mind is “but the iTunes Store can’t handle live video”. Too true. Super Bowl downloads will be made available on iTunes following the game.

The National Football League said Tuesday it will make highlights from Sunday’s game available for purchase online the following day. The download, in English or Spanish, will cost $1.99 and will be viewable on computers or iPods.

A 90-minute video of the NFL’s coverage of the Super Bowl will also be sold for $1.99.

I can list a few people that will have no interest in these downloads unless of course those “highlights” are the best commercials shown during the game. I can get behind that, even as a sports fan. Could the Bud Bowl return? If they don’t want to shell out for Super Bowl advertising time, I’ll buy it on iTunes. You heard it here first.
