Apple Offers Refund To Unhappy 'Breaking Bad' Season Pass Customers

Two weeks ago, a man sued Apple after finding out that the $22.99 he paid for a season pass of "Breaking Bad" was only good for the final season's first 8 episodes. As it turns out, the final season is broken up into two parts of eight episodes each and Apple was claiming fans would have to purchase a separate season pass for the final eight episodes.

After a fair amount of negative publicity, Apple late on Monday began informing folks who purchased a season pass for the 5th season of "Breaking Bad" that they are entitled to a refund in full in the form of a $22.99 iTunes credit.

Here is the text of the email sent out by Apple:

The email sent out by Apple reads:

Dear Customer,

We apologize for any confusion the naming of "Season 5" and "The Final Season" of Breaking Bad might have caused you. While the names of the seasons and episodes associated with them were not chosen by iTunes, we'd like to offer you "The Final Season" on us by providing you with the iTunes code below in the amount of $22.99. This credit can also be used for any other content on the iTunes Store. Thank you for your purchase.

Despite the refund offer, it's worth noting that in the iTunes library, the final 16 episodes continue to be sold as two separate "seasons" of eight episodes each.
