Didn't it used to be like 10 or 12 bucks a month for Hulu Plus? Eight bucks seems doable, I can easily scale Netflix back to online only and end up paying the same every month to have both. The only thing I really, really hate is the commercials. If I'm gonna pay for a streaming service, you can shove your Jack Link's and Sprint 4g ads up your ass.
Yeah, it was 10 bucks a month when Plus was in beta. Also, there are less commercials in Plus, although it still pisses me off that I'm paying and they are still there.
I can't imagine ever needing to see a show so desperately I'd go back to watching commercials.
I was at Enterprise the other day, and I had to wait a bit for them to get my car. They had a radio playing in the office that was just blaring commercials what felt like non-stop (but was probably more like ten minutes). I felt accosted.
Commercials are fucking offensive. You really notice it when you've been removed from it for a while. I was watching TV with my dad yesterday, and every 6 minutes commercials showed up to fuck my ear and eye holes. Shit was wack.
Commercial breaks on radio are out of control for sure. Luckily there's basically no reason to listen to terrestrial radio in the iPod age.Quote:

No, you definitely don't need to use the official cable. Honestly, it might just be a bad cable. Buy another one, I hear Opaque's the expert on that.
It's busted or stupid crazy old and you're trying to output at a higher bandwidth than it can handle. Odds are better than not it's just crap.
Buy some cheap five dollar cable and tell us if it works.
I thought that HDMI was universal as an input, which is why I didn't have any issue getting the generic one. It works perfect and has never had a problem 12 inches away in the PS3. I don't get it.
Edit: purchased like 1.5 yrs ago from SSJN's store.
I've used two different off-brand cables for the 360 and my primary one is made by Amazon. Did you try resetting the 360 video settings to see if that did anything (hold down Y+right trigger while it powers on)?It is, though there are technically different versions to support stuff that wouldn't apply to this situation.Quote:
