Another Provider Drops Extreme Rules

AT&T U-Verse will not be carrying this Sunday night's Extreme Rules PPV. As announced on Raw last night, DISH Network and DirecTV will not be carrying the PPV either.

 

-------------------

I think the traditional pay-per-view model has been dying for a while now. Both UFC and WWE buys are dropping every month, I'm not sure about TNA. The only places I know of that order the boxing events are bars.

 

How many people can afford $60 each month for a single showing of a PPV on top of their already overpriced cable or satellite bill?

PPV is dying but due to a network (something that the WWE has successfully implemented and the UFC is struggling to) providing a much steadier and growable cashflow. UFC numbers have been up and down in the last year but UFC 167-168 combined did 1.6 million buys. UFC 172, last weekend, should hit around 400K buys. UFC numbers tower over WWE PPV numbers (their only seller is Wrestlemania, most PPVs do under 200K rarely breaking 300K).

Pretty big signing for whoever gets him. He did have a tryout at the WWE Performance Centre this year but he said he wasn't offered or looking for a contract; simply fulfilling a dream. http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=83258

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
