premium/subscription based digital services

[ComixZone]

How many of you out there have been bitten by the recent bug of "premium" subscription services on the internet?

Whether it's games, movies, publications...it definitely looks like certain companies are finding a way to justify monotizing online content.

Was just wondering how many of you have lined up for any premium services/what services do you use/do you find that they're worth it?

My current subscriptions:

Xbox Live Gold Membership
Playstation Plus Membership
Giant Bomb Premium Membership
EA Sports Season Ticket
Call of Duty Elite
World of Warcraft subscription
Netflix subscription
Coming Soon: The Old Republic subscription

If all of these subscriptions were done for a year under my current subscription rates, that's 500+ dollars a year in digital services.

Damn internets, clever girl.

Combining all of those services probably provides you with enough time-killing activities to fill all your entertainment needs. How much do people typically spend on cable/satellite tv? I'm guessing it's more than $500/year.

Back when I was playing WoW, the $15/month subscription actually saved me money. I typically buy 2-3 $50 games every month, but when I was playing WoW (and I suspect SWTOR in the near future), I'd only buy 0-1 new games instead.
