Why are people bitching about the cost? Just think about it. There is one show I want to watch that I can't get watch on netflix/hulu/OTA, which is Game of Thrones. Can you really justify $80+/month for 4 episodes of a single show? If you really watch a lot of cable tv already, then sure, it is not a lot of money, but paying $10-$20 an episode is ridiculous.
- erichocean 14y agoFor over 90% of the households in the US, it's not "80+/month", it's $15 – for four episodes a month. Furthermore, HBO provides all of their Game of Thrones stuff on demand, you only need to get HBO for 1 month to actually watch everything, if you wait until the last month of the series. HN people (at least in the US) are in a bubble when it comes to cable TV, and the economics thereof. This comes to mind: http://xkcd.com/793/ http://xkcd.com/793/
