The added feature on game consoles to view movie services, such as Sony’s Wii and Playstation are also on a sharp incline for precious subscribers who enjoy a selection of at least 70,000 movies and TV shows on demand and all at a very reasonable price.
Cable companies are fighting back by offering cable boxes that can access online movie and games, however, it may be a little to little a little late as the hemorrhage of subscribers indicates users are fed-up with the high cost of sticking with cable. Cable services can cost as much as $200.00 monthly and on demand movies are often an extra charge.
