Comment Re:Best way to watch TV (Score 2) 479
Just an anecdote: I currently have a PS3 and a Hulu Plus subscription. A good number of the shows that I watch regularly are available so it's always been worth the $8/month to me in lieu of paying for cable+DVR (I have erratic work hours so a DVR would be a must).
That being said, I just got home from working a 12-hour shift and couldn't wait to collapse into the couch and watch TV... Apparently Sony released a system update today/yesterday. In order to log in to streaming video services you have to have your system up-to-date. I have been sitting here for 20 minutes now waiting on the update to download/install and it's not quite done yet. I just wanted to watch a damn TV show...
Note: this isn't an everyday occurrance and I can't remember the last time it did happen, but it is something worth taking into account when weighing your options.
