Sirius Subscription

"My09CX-9" said he got them to match the XM price of $77 after a few calls from them. Maybe you could try to do the same. It might be worth $77 a year, but I can't see paying $130 a year when my free 6 months expires. Like "CX9 SportOwner" suggests, an mp3 player or ipod can play whatever you want.

They offer a lifetime subscription for $399 now
Will try the above suggestion when they call. I agree it's worth $77 year but not the higher price. Thanks.
IMHO, Ipod and sirius radio don't even compare. Our 6 month trial is also up at the end of this month. I never thought I'd enjoy or even use the sirius radio option, but we now listen to it more than OTA radio or our ipods. My ipod can't get live NFL football games, or any of the financial news and talk stations that are offered by satellite radio, not to mention the kids channels. When you travel on vacation with kids, or even just taking trips between St. Louis and Chicago where my relatives live, it's incredibly nice to have a wide variety of stuff to listen to. Being able to listen to any football game I want traveling back from Chicago on a Sunday makes the trip go much faster.
That said, I'm pretty frugal and am currently debating whether to renew at the $129.50 one year rate they have offered. I'd be much more inclined to renew at something closer to $70-$80.

No wonder they are struggling. They're going to price themselves right out of business, especially now that iPods are starting to offer internet radio services like Pandora, MLB, and others.
Dang, I re-upped for $129. I got hosed! Oh well, we still enjoy it. I'm planning on getting the wife and me Iphone 4G's, or whatever they will be called, so I can use some of those radio apps while driving. Of course, I won't have an "unlimited" data plan to go with it, so I'll have to figure out how much data streaming audio will use up...better remind the wife of that limitation since I can't get wifi while driving.
yeah, I paid the same...so don't feel bad...

Tell them your going to leave, and you can get the 5 months for $20. Ive done that for the past 2 years on both my radios. It is a promotion that they use to keep subscribers, and its worked for me.

Niceee.. Times are tough for everyone, they WILL give you a deal if they are serious.
Yes but you need to purchase the music, considering that itunes sells each track at ~1 dollar each, at 77 dollars you get 77 tracks.
So the question remains, do you want 77 tracks that you keep listening to over and over for 6 months or the variety of XM stations?
Personally, I'm a cheapo, so I listen to the radio

LOL, I still can't pass my mind to pay for radio I turned down the $77/yr Sirius offered me twice...
I turned down the $77/yr Sirius offered me twice...Called today since my 6 month trial is expiring and the best offer they have is $129.50 for a year. I even brought up the half price offer, and they said that is some promo they offer every now then. They offered to sign me up on a monthly plan until the promo offer comes around. I had to pass.
