| i pay enough already i don't mind paying the $50/year for xbox live, but i do hate my outrageous cable and internet bill each month. my isp is not on the list and i know that to get on that list it will end up costing me more money each month. no thanks.
i really wish that cable companies would make espn optional like hbo and showtime. even though i watch a lot of sports, i could get by without espn for $20 less per month. |

Approximately 5 cents. And I'm not being sarcastic. That's what ESPN charges. |

Scarsdale, NY | But what if every big website starts charging. 5 cents for Hulu, 5 for NY Times, 5 for TBS, 5 for DSLReports... It starts adding up and they're definitely going to try and start charging more when they get more established. |

Hulu is planning on offering a subscription service. |

kudos:3 | well you have the 5cents plus pay the person to handle paying espn and advertising to tell you that its there
5cents might be what goes to espn but it causes other expences to occur |

You say that, but I would subscribe to DSLReports well before I gave ESPN any money for anything.
I can't even tell you the last time I turned to one of their channels and I am a "sports fan". |
