Mount Airy, MD |  Is Any Portal Useful?
Does anyone actually use any of the other portals on which ISPs like to waste money? Of course not.
Why would Comcast think a "gaming portal" would receive a more favorable response?

That and their generally lousy and expensive TV and HSI services here.
I'll never have anything do with Comkrap ever again.

| yep
If they added impromptu BF2 server hosting for free I'd be interested. I would also consider using it if they hosted every patch for every game as it came out for fast downloading (which they have to provide the bandwidthe for anyway). Kinda of like Fileplanet, but for subscribers only.
Other than that? I'll pass. |

Re: Is Any Portal Useful?
At least they invest in their service. Take Rogers in Canada. They have removed free webspace (moved to geocities), combined email with Yahoo, introduced caps, introduced throttled bittorrent , removed free newsgroups, introduced higher prices, (and on the flip side, raised speeds 2 mbps for middle of the line customers) pretty much in this order. The fact that they dropped all these services and still raised prices infuriates me.
I probably wouldn't use this service, but the fact that ISP's try new ideas at least shows me where my money is going.

| Who needs portals?
Every hardcore gamer has their own sites, clans that they go to get their interest. All gamers are really interested are servers, FAST servers. After all that's all they do is play games, not stare at Comcast portal looking at Wii ads.

| G4 sucks.
Comcast did a great dis service when they killed off tech tv for the crap that they put on now. G4 sucks and this new portal will suck. Hard core gamers will want games that take advantage of their new dual core computers and not simple javascript or adobe flash games. |

Save your money, Comcast. This is a guaranteed flop (hint: portals are doomed to fail miserably). |

Yes sir , it has never been the same since techtv. I tried watching after that. But now it is full of bad shows. With bad hosts. G4TV has been dead for sometime. |

It wasn't as good as Tech TV (I miss the Screen Savers) but it's still decent. I do like XPlay. Also, they do reruns of Arrested Development, and Star Trek TNG. |

Re: No
I consider myself a "hardk0r3" gamer, and I don't intend to use anything else.
However, I'm usually not upset about more free stuff. Hardcore gamers also want more upstream bandwidth, while we're after this market segment...
