    Speaking as a Brit, the only way to get TLoU was to subscribe to Sky TV, which (as far as I’m aware) requires a 12 month contract. Fuck that, quite frankly.

    So I took to the high seas because I could.

      Now tv doesn’t require a contract like that, in fact we just used a trial which they’re very generous on giving out to people multiple times. So when a site like that comes out we use a trial if there’s one available and then depending on the runtime we might only have to pay a month and it’s pretty cheap if you just get TV shows and not movies.

        Now TV is fucking awful though. They still think 1080p and surround sound are luxury optional extras.

        It’s basically just cybersquatting on shows so nobody else can have them, and remind you that you could watch them in decent quality if only you weren’t such a cheapskate and would subscribe to full Sky.

          I mean, doesn’t Netflix also charge extra for 1080p? Also I’m not a massive fan of Now, I only get it when there’s a show I really want to watch on it.

            Netflix also won’t serve 1080p if you are on PC. Even though you have specifically paid for 1080p or higher.
