http://www.espn360.com OMG! This thing is incredible. It just came out today. It has TONS of video coverage of not just highlight clips but ESPN shows as well. The Personal PTI is my favorite so far but I LITERALLY just got it so I'm busy exploring. A must have for a true sports NUT! Check it out.

personally, i'm getting tired of espn. more and more stuff is going to insiders only. nowadays, i can only read like 1/10th the content there. yahoo sports works well for me, and since i watch espn all day at work, i don't think i'm missing much. hehe, sorry, that was sorta off topic.

Not really related to the content or anything, but what's with all the "360" crap being bundled onto the end of everything? Since when has that become "cool" to use?

I don't mind ESPN too much but they are becoming more and more centralized in their reporting. I mean, maybe living on the West Coast I just don't quite get the whole Yankee-Red Sox thing, but that first week of the season that was ALL they reported. It was annoying as hell. And they always try to make stories out to be so much more than they are.

I miss the good ol' days of Charlie Steiner, Dan Patrick, Chris Berman, Keith Olbermann, and those guys. Now, everybody has to try and force these little "personal sayings" and such. Just shut up and report the news.

And don't even get me started with their breaking news stuff. Entirely too irresponsible if you ask me.

so is this espn 360 thing free for good, or just during this all access week?

The 360Lite is a limited previw this week. I think the regular ESPN380 is not available on all ISPs or something? I don't know. The way it was being described before today that's what it seemed like. I'm not positive either way. I downloaded the full version and in between videos it thanks you for previewing the thing and asking for feedback so maybe the whole thing is just a preview. The site was kind of vague. Personally, I love this thing for the immense video content you can view. Plus it has some games that I have yet to check out. Anyway, to each his own.

I just checked it out and I liked it. As long as I don't run a AdAware scan and find spyware installed with it I'll keep using it.

I get my daily dose of ESPNEWS, so I can live without a subscription to their INsider tongue.gif

It IS just a preview. You have to "write or call you ISP" if you like it. I hope Cablevision comes through for me here lol.
