    Who the **** would want to watch a PPV online? HDTV is the ONLY WAY.

    Unless I'm trapped on a flight or in the airport.

    Am I reading it wrong or does it say you can switch the camera angles as you're watching? Not sure that's what they meant but that would be cool as ****.

    What kind of business decision is it to make a PPV online the same price as on T.V.

    I swear sometimes most of these ****rs (so called execs) have no clue what theyre doing.
