3. Netflix steaming $8.99/Mo.
4. Amazon Prime ~$80/yr. (around the cost of Netflix per month)
5. Hulu is fail since they still have commercials, and you have to pay for it. Basicaly cable TV on the internet.
6. ???
7. Profit
Downside: You miss current shows as they air.
Upside: Watch what you want, when you want. That show that you love will be on Netflix soon, and you can watch the whole season at your pace, not once a week for 5 weeks, then a 2 month break, then 2 more episodes, then a 3 week break... No commercials. Save shit tons of money.

Sports are curiously being forgotten.... I know I can get NHL GameCenter on my ps3, but they don't show the playoffs and several games are blacked out. I can get Sunday Ticket, but I assume Chiefs games would be blacked out, and I don't know if they show the playoffs. There are online streams, which I used for a couple of years, but they aren't reliable (especially the NFL, since they're pretty aggressive about getting them taken down).
Watching pretty much every game I want to see >>>> online streaming
If I could pay $200 for NHL GameCenter (and get the playoffs), $10-15/month for the basic channels in HD, and get espn3 separate from cable, I could pay $20/month just for espn3 and still come in way under what I'm paying now for all the crap I could do without.
