There is no price difference between the in demand and satellite offering of NHL Center Ice.I seem to remember Center Ice cost $129 early bird and $159 regular for 2005-06

Anybody know what Bell ExpressVU is charging?

Thankfully we don't have Shaw in Regina, hoo-ray for Access Communications that is carrying Centre Ice for the same price as the original poster stated (even cheaper when you do the currency conversion).

Found this

$199 CDN-early bird/Get the NHL® CI® Early Bird Offer for 4 easy payments of $49.75.

The CAD dollar is currently .8995 for 1 USD.$179 US

They are charging the Canadians more than the Americans

Center Ice= God send.

one of the (many) benefits to living in NYC, with NYR/NYI/NJ and OLN broadcasts, there is an NHL game on just about every night, so Center Ice is not really needed.

That's if you want to watch the Islanders and Devils or some of the crappy OLN match ups

CI is needed.HNIC.Grapes.Satellite Hotstove.TSN games.Watching Bob McKenzie between periods of the TSN games.The Sportsnet games with Vancouver,Edmonton and Calgary in the west.The WJC games on TSN

Thanks for the info.

Unlike Dish or DirecTV, Bell subscribers get all the HD games, including ones broadcasted by RSNs in the US. As a Dish Network subscriber, I can't get the Avs Altitude HD broadcasts, but Bell subs in can.

I'm gonna buy this package again, however I never had HD last year.
They automatically put them in HD rite?

Just move to Ottawa, like I did.

Any news on Rogers pricing? I don't want the full Super Sports Pak thingy.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

i would probably pay up to $250 for center ice. it's that good. $149 is still a fair deal.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Man, Center Ice use to be 150 here in Canada. This is crap.

 

[Pens1566]

Early bird on Directv was $129 US last season.

 

[knich]

Welcome to the end of the era of "Thank You Fans!" Oh well, I'd pay $250 too for it. It is that good. Of course, $129 seems like a real fair price.

 

[Ducksforcup]

COX is charging 149/169 as well. Totally worth it of-course.

You'll get all the games broadcasted in SD and those games broadcasted in HD will be listed with the other HD channels (which are in the 800s on ExpressVU).

 

[RangerBoy]

Yes it was.I thought it was $139 because the regular price was $159.Instead of a $20 break,it was a $30 break last year

Cox gets it from indemand which distributes NHL CI to the cable operators.The price is the same for indemand,DIRECTV and DISH

It's a bargain

Thanks

 

[crashlanding]

Stop saying it's such a bargain! They're listening. Next year it WILL be $250.

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the price increase, but it's still worth every penny.
