There goes CBS again!
Bracken | Sunday, October 14, 2001 - 10:25 am   Well, I'm obviously a moron. I didn't know of any special offers when I subscribed to BB2 feeds. I paid $19.95 for Realplayer8 and then $9.95 a month for the Goldpass although I only used to watch BB2 live feeds. When I cancelled last week, I was not offered an extension. Since I didn't sign up until July 7, I just made it under the wire to not pay a fourth month fee. No mention was made of additional features relating to Survivor content. So, to answer your question, Espen, it looks like those of us who paid the premium fee (Realplayer download and monthly Goldpass subscription) were not offered anything free. Realplayer must understand their target market well. Those who received content for a discount were further discounted and those who paid premium fees were dimissed. I'm willing to bet that those who paid premium fee are considered "money bags" by Realplayer and are most likely more willing to reinstate their monthly Goldpass option. I, for one, will not. I guess I'll just join the parasite bleacher bunch this time. Judging by the content of the "premium" clips offered after the first show, its unlikely that I will break down and reinstate my Goldpass subscription unless they start showing some really "juicy" insider stuff, then my voyeuristic self may take over. Time will tell how saavy CBS/Realplayer is in luring us in again. |

Hippyt | Monday, October 15, 2001 - 06:50 pm   I checked this out today,it looks to be they are offering a bunch of outtakes ,that will probably end up on the Survivor DVD they always put out. Not worth it at all. I was offered the free 3 months through BB,glad I didn't take it. Didn't even want to mess with it. |
Tootseug | Saturday, October 20, 2001 - 02:34 pm   During BBII their was a place one get access to the feeds for free. I remember their was a bit of hub-bub about it because some of the posters thought it was stealing. Kind of the "bullet thing" that people did to steal tv cable premium stations. However, their were quite a few people from this board who actually got the feeds that way, and didn't pay a red cent. My question is, is their a place like that for getting these feeds?? If so, someone please email me! www.tootseug@yahoo.com |
