Haven't used it, but it seems very similar the video section of the PSN store. Can't really compare it to anything else (and why you'd want to replace it with your DVR which should cost you $0). |
Cable TV is like $100 a month for me. A subcription for HBO, Showtime, Starz alone cost $14 a month. So you can do the math on all that and you will understand why.
And Ill look at the PS3 list tonight although I dont think PSN offers channels like ESPN, AMC, HBO, Starz etc. although Im not sure but ill check tonight

I think HBO (which you still have to pay for, no matter what platform) is on everything nowadays. You're paying way too much for cable. I pay $50 for 300 channels (100+ in HD) and 2 DVRs. With all the sporting events I watch, I can't imagine not paying for cable.

Consider yourself lucky. Let me know when your 1 year deal runs out and they jack up your rates. Most markets in the USA are shit for cable and they charge outrageous rates due to having a monopoly on the market. I just use Netflix and Hulu+ for my TV watching needs. If they offered a la carte pricing then I would perhaps pay 20 dollars for 20 channels or something like that but that will never happen...

a la carte is coming.
I have netflix as well, but I refuse to pay for Hulu+. No streaming service should have built in commericials to every piece of content.
As for my cable, it'll go up to $63 after one year, but I still don't think that's very unreasonable.

Nah not too bad. I used to get 20 mb download for my cable modem and pay about 42 or so dollars after tax. They then started making me pay to lease the modem which knocked it up to about 50. They then increased my bill to 56.66 after tax. Then my 15 dollar 1 year discount dropped and it went up to 73 something after tax. I called them up stating I was going to switch services and drop them because I refuse to pay 70+ dollars for a semi decent speed. They said I am already getting bellow the normal price (must really screw some customers) but they would drop it down to about 62 dollars if I stayed with them.
