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.

You dont pay for HBO on Xbox Video. You just pay for the episode you are watching.
That is a pretty good deal for Cable but how many of those channels do you actually watch? For me cable isnt that great just because I dont watch much TV anyways. If you watch a lot of TV though I understand paying for it but that is $600 a year. If I switch to Xbox video (which I pay $1200 a year for cable) Ill end up saving aroun $900 most likely depending on what I watch throughout the year on Xbox Video. Let's be completely honest about cable. You pay a lot for a lot of things you don't watch for the few things you do watch.
Either way that is a pretty good deal for Cable.

I suppose it is a deal, but I'd rather not have to rely on the internet completely to watch anything, especially considering my wife would hog all my bandwidth. While I don't watch every channel, there's a ton devoted to a lot of smaller events that are nifty, but my wife does watch a bunch of stuff that would never.
