    Yeah at first I thought just 3 months for the rest of the season. But the deal from 3 to 6 months is a good chunk of savings.

    Is this available in the Portland Metro? or only where Comcast doesn't serve? Anything I can do to get away from Commiecast and their monopolizing ways would be great!

    Ball streams is an illegal streaming service that charges you money.

    Ballstreams is worth it.

    First you have to request an invitation, wait for it, then you pay through paypal or something and there you go. I had the 6 month pass last year and it was excellent. On occasion I would have a choppy stream though, but you can usually fix it by switching to another server. They have three US servers (West, Central, and East) and 1 each in Canada, Australia, Europe and China I think. Most of the time you can choose between which broadcast team you want as well. All games are archived as well. IT EVEN HAS A CHAT FEATURE!!!

    Sounds like something prevalent at gay pride parades.

    "Ballstreams" sounds like an unnatural, messy, & potentially painful condition:smiley-yell: However... for $60 a season... maybe I'm willing to take on some "ballstreams!" :tongue2:

    Just looked over the contract, you have to supply your OWN glow sticks (it's a BYOGS policy) AND you have to endure repeated loops of Daft Punks songs.:icecream:

    I think I'll buy one of those Visa Gift cards just to try it out anyway to see if it works since I wouldn't want to use a real credit card on this, I can find some other shit to spend it on anyway.

    I'm afraid so, until further notice; they're currently unable to fill the demand for their swag ecstasy; as a consolation, they will allow you to help yourself to some of their mescaline though.:MARIS61:

    I was worried that I'd misread Post #1, but it still says 60/year. Is this for the NBA only? I assume it's not like the all-sports online sites I watch.

    The real hackers are right here in this country. As for the viruses, get a good ad blocker and you shouldn't have any problems.

    I was planning on getting Comcast next month, but with people saying you can use this on the ps3 maybe I wont. I like the gift card idea too, might be a good way to cover some bases safety wise haha
