ESPN Deal - not much difference

The ESPN deal is HUGE. IF you don't think it makes a difference is probably because you don't like sports.

Its not that huge being you can get sports info on PS3 or Wii browser. So...

I need more details on this.  Can you watch anything that's on ESPN, live, on this?  If so, I might be buying a 2nd 360 for this reason alone (as I've cancelled cable).  If it's mostly just video archive with a few live sports that I don't care about, then it's no deal.  I can't seem to find anything else about it, though....
