26.50 for Sky movies HD is excessive when u consider for 14.99 you can rent Blue Ray from Lovefilm.

Even cheaper methods than that...

I will consider staying with Virgin if the XL gets ESPN America HD , Sky One HD , Sky Sports News HD and Hallmark HD at no extra cost.

That was a quick turnaround, I'm sure you won't be disappointed then.

I think the frustration for VIP Customers is the way the package has been devalued since it first came out. When VIP was first launched, it offered a saving of £26.50 on standard prices. This has now been shrunk to just £6.45 as price reductions have not been passed on. VIP used to include the best of everything available, but since the launch of 50Mb broadband this has not been the case, and now of course we effectively will no longer be receiving the top TV package as part of the bundle.
I've waited 4 years for these channels, and at £7 I'm still going to add them. The biggest disappointment for me is the "per box" price, and I can't really justify paying another £7 to get this on my new shiny V-HD box as well as the V+.

Why don't you email those exact comments to Neil Berkett. I agree that VIP was marketed as the "everything" package, but perhaps VM may make additions to the package soon.

People in the thread pay a lot more than that but I can see why you would be a little peed at the price but it's not a great deal extra overall and maybe you could get them to give you a deal when the prices are announced?

I agree £7 is not much, but per box is ridiculous. Brings back Sky PPV bad memories.:td:
Someone earlier on the thread said it was like SKy are now controlling VM's prices and I think at least for a while that is correct until the Ofcom thing is sorted out once and for all. Plus, now that VM, BT etc get access to Sky's good stuff, the value of it to Sky goes down, they will bid less for sports/film rights in the future, thus ultimately bringing prices for all. In theory, anyway.
But as its a bit like Lord Of The Flies on here at the moment, I'm off to kill the pig.:) |
