I need to resub and catch the 10% discount, but 121 bucks US.. ouch.     I guess I paid similar last year and its completely worth it, but tough to swallow up front.

i think i paid the same price for the high-end offering back in 2007.

it does appear they raised the price on the 'standard" package. it's only a 18.5â,¬ ($25) savings over the hi-red package ($121.74 for returning customers).

I ask this every year, and I actually looked at the link and didn't see it, but what is the minimum ISP speed to make this work?

I am usually at 2 to 4 MBps download - is that enough?

What is the video format?
The 2010 MotoGP races are available in Hi-Res+ format, both live and on-demand, and the 2010 races from MotoGP, Moto2 and 125cc are available in Hi-Res live and on-demand. Hi-Res+ delivers quality of 960x540px at 1700kbps depending on your bandwidth, and Hi-Res is 960x540px at 1200kbps. All sessions from all categories on each GP weekend are available in Standard quality live and on-demand, which is 640x360px at 650kbps

That's about where I run Mitt.  You should be fine for Hi Res.

cost-wise, yes... watching live? nope.

I prefer to watch them on SPEED. HD 52" screen. They are shown after the actual race, but the outcome is still the same. Actually you can tape it and a week later the outcome will still be the same. Or wait a month or 2, still the same outcome.

agreed, but I'm not enough of a fan to watch the races live in the middle of the night,

and I'm patient enough to wait until it gets posted.

If I see another commercial spot for the hot rod grill during a motorcycle race I'm afraid I might have to go on a shooting rampage in the nearest trailer park.  Which is why I renewed my GP subscription.

crappy non-HD picture however.

not that i don't do the same.  ..or watch the RU versions on the tv, more like.

I had a motogp.com subscription last year that I barely used b/c my home computer doesn't support the video (and I don't use RU).  So I relied primarily on speed or watching it at a bar or a friends' house.  Occasionally, I'd watch stuff--like interviews--on my work computer, but not much.

I'll prolly sign up again when I buy a new laptap in a coupla months.  I definitely suffer from the "I can't wait for it to come on SPEED or to download it" application.  WSBK absolutely killed me last year.  I *really* wanted to watch it live, even getting up in the middle of the night to watch it (while I still could get a feed).
