NHL again leading the way in terms of live online broadcasts... As of right now, you can purchase all NHL games this season for only $50 (that's €39 for me) at:
https://gamecenter.nhl.com/nhlgc/secure/gclsignup
That's a great deal, considering you get to see all games, regular season and play-offs, both live or from full-length replays. Both on regular computers, as well as on tablets or smart-phones. Everything in HD.
Compared to last year, NHL has now even added PayPal as a payment option. And so, subscribing took 2 button presses for me, and was done in a few seconds. That's how things should be!
Next to that, the KHL's video site is a nightmare. Still no PayPal. And they're so clueless they are still selling "the entire season" subscription for the original full price from September, with only 9 or 10 games left in the regular season. Can they get any more clueless? I talked to KHL tech support about this about a month ago, and they said they would consider adjusting the price. Well, what are you waiting for? It's mid-January, and you expect anyone to buy a season subscription for the (very high) original September full price? By the way, good luck finding those subscription options at http://video.khl.ru/live. The site is a mess.
I'm afraid the KHL will simply not get this right before the 2012/13 season runs out.
Also, it appears not all games are offered live, which is unacceptable. I'd like to purchase the Astana vs. Slovan game next Tuesday, but it's not on the menu. What will happen to those KHL.ru subscribers that had bought the "All Slovan Games" subscription back in September? Will they now be cheated out of watching a very important Slovan away game?
