on media, which I would consider the pay as you go option but the analogy breaks down slightly in that the money doesn’t necessarily go to the television provider unless they happen to have published the media.

You’re paying a subscription for the channels if you’re using Virgin Media or Sky then you’re paying a subscription again for your cable/satellite package to be able to use the technology to view the channels and whatever exclusives the respective provider has garnered for your viewing pleasure.Īlternatively you can just buy your series/show/etc.

The BBC channels do not have advertising, it’s subsidised by the television license fee, but the other channels need advertising to stay afloat. In the UK you pay for a television license each year, technically this covers the cost of the BBC channels but thanks to UK law it also means reception of the television broadcasts. However, as we all should know, there’s no such thing as a free lunch and what you’re actually doing is paying for the games as part of your subscription in some way. Though alike Sony’s Playstation Plus you’ll get access to free games per month as well. You can use applications which are practically out of their control (Netflix, etc.), that you’re already paying a subscription to use, for free so long as you have the app’s subscription. They’re making them more like the Sony Playstation. Technically there’s no difference, I would argue anyway.Ī thought struck me while I was reading that Microsoft are altering their XBox Live Gold subscriptions.
