www.motogp.com rip off

[Samster]

I've subscribed to www.motogp.com since it's inception, mainly for the ability to watch the live timing, races, re-watch whatever race whenever I want etc, and of course for the news and results.

However, I think they're starting to take the piss with the costs........

Up until 2004, premium access cost me 25E.

2004 season cost me 27E

2005 season cost me 29E

2006 season cost me 30E

This season they want 45.94E or 99.95E for high resolution 720 x 576 streaming at 1000kbps.

The robbin' bastards!

Funny that, was going to post and ask if folks thought it was worth the money!

I remember trying to watch practice at one of the rounds last year, don't know if it was my poota, but it was very, very, jerky video.

Notice the high resolution trial video doesn't work either! (Again, could be my machine?)

Shame we couldn't do a group buy? Or would that not work?

:dunno:

May be your PC Lebowski? the high res demo looks great on my laptop and I've never had an issue watching the videos in the past...........

In past years I've always shared my log-in with those who frequent this forum, but at ?32 ish I'll have to re-think that one this season!

Makes the WSB live streams good value at ?25 for the whole season :yo: :yo:

More than likely it is, it's a pared to the bone, works issue, Dell.

I was only interested in being able to watch practice whilst at work, ah well, n'er mind!

Had I been able to actually see it, I would have gladly split the cost with you.

:bang:

I'm more than happy to chip in with you, Samster, after taking advantage of your generosity it?s the least I can do. If no-one else is interested I?ll go halves with you on whatever you choose.

Cheers, Geezer. :beer:

Don't know if we can actually do this, but if so, I will split the cost with however many folk want to do it.

If I can't watch the practice at least I can access the interviews and re runs.

:bow:
