3 months free 9.99 a month after that and even cheaper if you sign up for a longperiod of time.

I can't wrap my brain around paying for radio?! I mean, I understand the whole concept of XM, but I can honestly say I'm not gonna pay extra just to listen to music I may or may not like on the radio. At least when I play a CD I know what I'm getting...

 

i sorta have to agree with brant (i hate to admit that btw).
the concept of paying for radio is tough for me to understand. however, with the recent increase in road trips, i'm starting to think xm might not be such a bad idea. if you drive through the middle of nowhere through PA, the radio selection sucks.
i guess i'll get an mp3 playing head unit before i go to xm

 

No ads. no DJ stupid talk, and now 24/7 realtime traffic and weather reports The traffic alone makes it worth it for me!!!

 

Yeah, I guess I can see the benefits to an extent. I would almost prefer a pay as you go scheme, though, because otherwise it's like paying for cable on the off chance that you might watch TV sometime in a given month...

 

i think in more metropolitan areas, the traffic report would be important.
for me, i to work around noon..and i drive 5minutes.

 

well look at it just like tv, you don't only watch basic channels correct. The way i present it to customers it this. You do not HAVE to have it, it is a service available to you that you can take advantage of if you'd like. But for $10 a month (which is alot less than the cost of 1 cd) you get 120 channels of commercial free radio including weather, comedy, news and every kind of music possible. Plus you always know what song is playing and who sings it. On top of that when you travel out fo state you don't have to keep trying to find local stations. you already know what they are.

YEAH i'm not a salesman!!!!

 

Now if only they could improve reception! It still sucks a$$ and I AM IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA

 

i dunno if i want comedy as one of the channels..i might be laughing and off the road...
