    Not too shabby, if you ask me.
    That does sound awesome. Ima have to get on that deal.

    But it wasn't the live increase that was really bothering me it's the nickle and diming that has me more upset.

    Some content on the service is way overpriced, imo.

    I know, if I don't like it don't buy it but it seems that 1200 points for 5 maps is a little steep.

    I think that's why they're giving us Hulu and the ESPN package thing. I'm getting the feeling more content like that is on it's way, as well.

    Yeah, seriously. I already barely use the cable box because of Netflix.

    I forgot to mention, on top of ESPN showing 3,500 live games a year, they are reportedly also going to have tons of past games, highlights, talk shows, etc.

    I was thinking that at some future date it would be great to not only stream from your instant q but to be able to rent the regular new releases and be able to view them through you x box in HD as well.

    If that was the case I wouldn't need my ps3 for blu rays at all...

    It's certainly one way microsoft can neuter sony.
