Reggie20x6 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I already subscribe to so many different monthly things - so this is a no-brainer addition for me, but $10 is ridiculously low for the value. I'd have paid as much as $20/month for that content. I was already paying $12.95 for just Classics OnDemand, before I switched to DirecTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I might be out, now. They turned me off when I saw you have to make a $60 down payment. But you would be paying that anyway. I NEVER have $60 at one time, though. I can afford $10 a month, but not 60 at once. It doesn't *say* cough up $60 at once. Its possible its $10 a month, but you're contracted for 6 months. Or you can sit and wait for it to go monthly, which it will at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 At first glance, I'm amped. $60 is not a bad price point at all, especially with the PPV considerations. But I really, really hope that eventually there's an expansion where I can get my fix of territory stuff, MSG shows, WCWSN, Worldwide, ECW TV, SNME, Shotgun/Superstars/other syndicated shows, etc. But still, already a butt ton better than Classics on Demand.

Raziel Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sponging off MLB.tv's distribution system. They got the infrastructure. Shit, its amazing that we were shitting on this as a bad idea a year ago, and it turned into a potential gamechanger instead of the 10's XFL.

bink_winkleman Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 DAMN! I get Classics for $4.99 on Suddenlink, so this is 2x the cost for me. Still in, though. That's a ton of Benoit for them to edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Raziel, are you sure about this not being a fully streaming network? The woman who was out said it would be streaming programming 24/7, but then you could watch anything in the On Demand library. Even the screenshot they showed had a "what's on now" type message.

The woman who was out said it would be streaming programming 24/7, but then you could watch anything in the On Demand library. Even the screenshot they showed had a "what's on now" type message. Of course its fully streaming. Every video you get online of fully streamed, if you're not downloading it ahead of time, regardless of if its live or pre-recorded. Every YouTube video is streamed. the What's on Now seems to be what they're showing live (RAW/SmackDown pre-shows, PPV's, new releases of the original content, PPV's), and the back catalog is done Netflix-style. The "start from beginning" button looks like its a "shit, I started it and walked away, I want to restart it" like the "play from beginning" button on Netflix. EDIT: By downloading it ahead of time, I mean downloading the full file onto your HDD and watching it that way, instead of watching a buffered video ala YouTube.

Ace Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 $60 is cheaper than Wrestlemania. Plus ALL the WCW, WWE, and ECW PPVs on demand at launch? I'm in. I got no problem paying $60 twice a year even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 NO XBONE!!!!!! LOL!!! If this works how they're pimping, this could actually be a game changer for a LOT of PPV stuff. I'm sure they said XBox? They said it's coming on the X-Box One, but not at launch. This is a very cool announcement. I hope they include that "Legends of Wrestling" round table show too. I like that a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 After reading the FAQ, they are incredibly vague about the 6 month deal. Is it $60 up front? Is it a 6 month contract that you pay monthly? They need to clarify. I hate to be that guy, but it could be a deal breaker for me. They almost had my money.
