I'd rather they took a stab at telemarketing phone calls. 50% of my calls are from spammers at this point.

Probably the sole reason this hasn't happened completely is there is no sports option without cable. My bet is cable companies are not encouraging stations like ESPN to make a ESPN-GO like option with monthly fees.

I have absolutely zero faith MS will keep these servers alive for more than a year and a half. I assume by this time 2018 they will be sending notice all Xbox 360 game servers will be shutting down. They'll keep them running just long enough to sell their overstock.

You lost me....

Agreed, My assumption is that these deals online are things a current customer cant get anyways.

Update: I talked to the online chat, and asked why I couldn't find anything available in my area (Boston MA, Brookline MA) they told me i need to call Comcast to see if my address is eligible. so much for customer service.

Ridiculous.

Can anyone actually qualify for a package? I get "We're sorry but this package isn't available in your area. Please select another package."

On pretty much every choice i make. Plugging in random area codes...

This is pretty amazing...

Seriously Apple WTF?

As a member of the beta team , I can tell you everyone was pretty damn concerned about the state of the game so close to its release.

It was obvious SOMETHING was wrong given the alpha state of the builds they were giving us.

As it is, you load, hit a button and crash, repeat. I tried to withhold my judgement until they released into open beta, but its just horrible.

I am DELIGHTED, that this has come to light. MY father, who works for one of the companies backing an HD format, has been telling about Microsoft's Strategy for about a year or so. Specifically: Backing an opposing format to fuel the fire of HD wars so that they both will fail in the end. Granted, MS never came out and said it, but he is fairly confident tis is their unspoken strategy. Its one thing to push your own format, it quite another to push sabotage the entire ordeal.A pretty awful strategy for everyone but MS really, the consumer really loses out.
