By the way, I bet this will end up like that Charter Cable "65-inch TV" promotion. Future Consumerist Headline: "Comcast: You won a Wii from Comcast! Here is your Nintendo 64!"
]]>Damn. Beat me to it!
]]>I will cancel my cable before I ever pay more than 62 bucks a month for cable/internet.
In a heartbeat. Amount of television watched within the last 3-4 months: 0.
]]>1: 99.99 for triple play with about 100 channels
2. 129.99 for triple play with over 200 channels, HBO, Encore, STARZ and Showtime
I have the larger package; I watch the movie channels and cancelled my Blockbuster subscription.
]]>Over at my house, we got the double play about a month ago. Way to go, Comcast.
(cries over Wii she just could have owned if parents decided to wait a little longer)
]]>You can blame Comcast for lots of things, but not for problems with hooking up your Wii.
]]>I have a Linksys router that I purchased myself and my wii works well online:)
...Gotta go, time for Mariokart online!
@Joedragon: And then goes out everytime it rains
]]>My family moved got Comcast within the last few months and already there has been two offers from comcast such as a free HDTV and now a Wii. But at least we are not paying an extra Thirty bucks a month. I wonder what they will do next.
]]>I know, truth hurts!
/agree ... LOL! Monopolizing scumbags!
]]>Who doesn't have a Wii anymore? Give away PS3's or 360 Elites and you have my attention comcast, btw i have your digital cable and Hi-Speed internet which never goes above 1mbs, where you advertise 7+ -_-
]]>I sure as shit am not paying $129 a month for it though. That's ridiculous!
]]>When I was a new subscriber, it took three attempts to even get someone to show up to install the damn cable, much less give me a Wii for signing up...
]]>they're both bad...i've just always felt charter was the wal-mart to comcast's K-mart
]]>@EnigmaNemesis: Good thing you didn't post that on Kotaku...Instant flame war.. ;)
]]>Sure, the Wii may not be massively focused on online play - but I don't think thats really the point, the Wii is a hot product and it will get people to sign up snappy.
]]>@shorty63136: If you squint really hard it actually says Triple Play. I was right with you.
]]>@EnigmaNemesis: Clearly you have never dealt with Comcast before.
]]>Great choice!
]]>Charter is still much worse than Comcast.
]]>Still - their double play is usually only $66 or $69/mo (which already comes w/ HBO and STARZ) and their TRIPLY play is only $99/mo! GTFOH, Comcast!
Sure, you'll get a Wii, but you'll be paying $60/mo EXTRA than what you COULD pay for 12 months! If my math serves me right, that's $720 down the drain. That could be $720 in my TANK.
