Cable vs Xbox360

I'm thinking I'm going to drop my FIOS TV subscription, keep my FIOS internet, and pay for Xbox Live Gold and HuluPlus and cut costs dramatically.

Between Xbox Live Gold and HuluPlus that will only be like $14/mo. Add to the Zune as a source for OnDemand rentals, which is generally less desirable but there's stuff on there I'll probably want from time to time, and of course torrenting stuff and using Media Center on the Xbox and I'll save myself and awful lot of money every month.

Anyone done anything like this?

You have FIOS... get on torrents or usenet and leech shit hard.

Get Netflix as well. If you know someone with netflix you can just use their username and password.

yep.....I myself just bought a Roku for $70 total, which I can watch netflix, hulu & I don't even know what else on, since I don't really play video games. We've got a fairly shitty connection, & the X-Box sucks with it, seeing as that past thread where everyone was testing their bandwidth, most of you get a far better connection than me. Anyways.......fuck cable

I'm already rocking Netflix via my Blu-Ray player. I'm looking to save as much money as I can. FIOS is still a bitch, because just internet is 65/mo.

I don't even bother with cable. I just run Netflix through my ps3.
