Dante Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You're demanding something for free?? Gee, how liberal of you. You know, a lot of people got a big discount because of the Versus thing. I didn't bother trying. I just didn't feel good about it. To me Center Ice is a great package for the price. Even without Versus, I didn't think it warranted a rebate. On the other hand, I happily took the price slash DTV offered when I said I was going to cancel Sunday Ticket. I fully intended to cut the service off because I think its way overpriced. It especially pisses me off that the squeeze another $100 out of you for the "Super Fan" so you can watch in HD. Of course the Bills perennial suckage doesn't help sell me either.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You're demanding something for free?? Gee, how liberal of you. I think it's pretty reasonable. I don't want center ice. I can see 99% of the Penguins games on local fox sports channel. I need versus for the Pens playoff games, and I would pay for it if it were an option but it's not. Center ice is simply a substitute for versus come playoff time, and I don't want to pay for a center ice package I won't otherwise use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPR4444 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 with the popularity (or lack thereof) of hockey in general in the US (excluding niche markets), they probably should give Center Ice away to attract fans. I have had the CI package every year for at least 5 years. Ever watch the home games from Atlanta, Phoenix, etc? Those stands are empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you are paying for CI, why should they want to fill seats? Drain the money right out of the NHL, people should not pay for it and support other teams in bad markets. That would make the NHL piss or get off the pot about teams in the south and non-traditional hockey markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 not sure; but they supposedly put a notation on my account re. the offer they made me. I might try calling tomorrow and ask for "customer retention"--do you think that will work? Don't take this the wrong way, but did you actually READ my post....? "If so, call them up, ask for customer retention (important step!), and tell them that you're really upset that they don't carry Versus" See the "important step!" part?

Fezmid Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You're demanding something for free?? Gee, how liberal of you. Actually, it's not liberal -- nobody's asking for a government handout. It's free market -- "If you give me X, I'll stay with your company. If not, I might give my entertainment dollars to company Y instead." Capitalism, no?

I have always said that. I always had faith in them to do the right thing. Oh... I am not going to SabreSpace... I don't want to jinx them! You are probably happy about that shrade!

CowgirlsFan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm a lifelong fan of the Sabres, but not living in WNY and not having Versus, I haven't had a chance to watch this Sabres team. Opinions on this team? Are they worth the investment in time and money or are they terminally incomplete? I do see they lost to a premier team last night, is that indicative of their performance this year? Basically, I'm debating whether or not to purchase the Center Ice package for the playoffs. Do you think they'll make a decent run at the cup this year or one-and-done? FYI Versus is also on Dish Direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
