It is a strong selling pont I agree, but only if you want ESPN. They are very wisely building up a brand a reputation in the UK, as big as they are in the US they didn't mean too much to most of us here prior to obtainng EPL rights.
Some people would prefer a wider choice a general HD channels in a general TV package and it dosen't look like we are going to get that.
Horses for courses, nevertheless I completely agree XL is very good value though, no doubt about that.
One sidenote though, if ESPN were lucky enough to get more EPL packages in future, which is highly likely, do you think ESPN would continue to be in XL?
Setanta tried that and went bust. If ESPN do indeed only get £1 from XL customers, which I personally doubt, that dosen't add up to me.
