I already have a PlayOn license, so if I am selected as a winner, I will gladly pass that part of the prize on to some other lucky person and use part of the $50 to purchase a year of PlayOn Premium. PlayOn is awesome.

I *love* PlayOn! It’s never been anything but easy to use, very helpful, and a lifetime license would only make me happier. Thanks!!

I am SO glad you’re telling us about PlayOn. FINALLY… a use for my husband’s Xbox!

AHAHAHA!

So, um… I read your guest blog over there and have all my entries in order. But seriously, no matter what, I totally see us ordering this.

@Tony, I meant “You had to…” Sorrys

I went and read your post about PlayOn (and left a comment there as justJoan). I’m going to have to figure out how to make it work with the Wii (we only have regular Xbox and Playstation 2).
Joan´s last blog ..Linger-ing

My wife needed her TopChef Masters fix.
So what is a good husband to do?

Scour the internet to find a solution (and get her a little drunk while I scour).

I find the PlayOn trial . . run it through the Wii. She gets her cooking fix . . and I’m a suburban hero.

Everyone wins. Everyone at my house at least!

I have no idea what PlayOn is, but it sounds super cool.

I will be tweeting.

Read your post, too. Sounds awesome!

If music be the food of love, PlayOn;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe’er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.

I love PlayOn so much that I talked my Dad into buying PlayOn for all 4 of my brothers. Now we are a PlayOn family

And done! I totally just spammed my Facebook page with praise of Playon and linked to your blog!!! I used the cute little logo of “Playon + squirrel = Happiness” as the thumbnail! Hopefully 3 entries is the charm!

PlayOn sounds great! I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before.

I’m excited to get SP Studios support. That will go along great when I can actually afford to purchase NHL Gamecenter.

Oh yeah… PlayOn

I really like the playon trial. Just hoping for a chance to win a lifetime subscription

Playon is great, i dont have cable, so this takes its place, can’t wait for the new release, hope its got great content and user interface.

PlayOn is one of the best things to happen to TV and Computers since… well…

Okay, there’s NEVER been anything like it before! RockOn, PlayOn!

Playon is really cool.

Instead of giving the cable companies $100+ a month I use PlayOn!

PlayOn is the best!

I purchased PlayOn via http://www.yugster.com a couple of months ago but have not been able to use it because I only have a PS2 and so I am hoping to find a great deal on a Wii so I can use this software. I haven’t even used it and I can hardly keep the excitement down as I just moved to my 1st house and I don’t have cable or satellite so it is an easy sell to just start using PlayOn. Would love to win Lifetime license of PlayOn and $50 GC I could use to apply to my Wii. Please randomly select ME?@# Thank you.

I also tweeted and left a comment on your other blog post.

You review of PlayOn was fantastic, you hit the nail on the head. I have been using it on our xbox 360 for about 6 months now and I am still in awe of all that I can watch with it. My kids love it too, and I have added many plugins to keep them occupied like Nick Jr, etc. I would recommend PlayOn to anyone who enjoys watching tv or videos online or to anyone who is sick of the outrageous cable or satellite bills.

PlayOn is cool.. thanks for the contest!

PlayOn = Priceless

http://www.playonplugins.com = icing on the cake.

PlayOn not only works great thru my xbox360 it is even more convienent streaming from my Sony LCD tv with dlna.

PlayOn is awesome and is a great way to find something to watch when there is nothing on TV — if they can get it right with the premium package I might just drop my cable for good.

Yes, playon you masters of video, you kings of the computer…

I can honestly say I never heard of PlayOn until today-so you are a marketing genius because you reached this barbarian.

I just built a SageTV PVR with the hopes of integrating PlayOn with it. I have to admit the recent pricing change is dramatic, so I expect higher quality for my dollar. Free would be sweet though

Great Blog! Lots of useful information! PlayOn looks like a great service. Hope to try it.

Excellent post! I’ve been mulling over going for PlayOn, but this pushed me over the top I think! Here’s to a great piece of software! Cheers.

Check it out! Playon! awesome! I can’t wait to play my Hulu feeds and other things on my Wii!

I’ve been a PlayOn subscriber forever, or at least from about when they started. It’s da bomb! I got hooked when I found I could watch episodes of The Time Tunnel on my living room TV via Hulu. I was sold. Ahhhh, from my yoot!

Why I like PlayOn? Because I can stream video with it thru my XBox 360, I can watch movies, TV, music videos, everything but live sports. I was able to ditch cable and start saving money!!!

PlayOn is pretty awesome. Check it out. I’ve been watching old episodes of Robotech (on Hulu) that I haven’t seen since I was a wee lad.

Play on.

PlayOn Player! I Have gone Cable/satellite less and this would help keep things on the big screen.

Wow – this PlayOn contest is really cool!

On a side note, Blogger won’t let me add your blog to my blog roll. It says it can’t detect the URL and won’t show updated entries. Has this happened with anyone else or is it just Blogger hating me again?

Playon is awesome..an additional window to my world…!!!

I’ve been using PlayOn for a few months, and it’s been great, especially after switchingbto wired network connections

PlayOn is great. I used it to keep my wife busy watching movies so I can spend more time playing video games.

PlayOn gets me my Colbert Report and Daily Show. without it the world would be less amusing.

I love PlayOn. I have been a user since the very beginning..and even wrote a script for it! Check it out if you get the chance!

Mike´s last blog ..Lost Series Finale Leaked!!

I love me some PlayOn! I’ve been a huge advocate since the early Beta testing days prior to it having a price tag. It was great then, and just continues to get even better with every successive update.

I’ve not had cable for 4 years, with PlayOn there’s just no need. And the pricing is more than worth it considering the savings opposed to cable.
mike!´s last blog ..Tick, Tick, Tick…

Cut satellite about a month ago and now using PlayOn extensively to watch MLB games and Hulu. Great product!

I love PlayOn

oh playon if only you had live sports channels so i can get rid of cable! still love it for hulu!

Posted a tweet (klrace) to advertise your blog and giveaway!

PlayOn has replaced cable for my family. I subscribed last year, and after moving it to a dedicated machine, it’s been smooth sailing. It’s been a solid product that I absolutely recommend.

PlayOn is great. Now only if the NFL would allow their games to be streamed live, PlayOn would be 100x more valuable to me.

PlayOn gives my PS3 one more use. Yet another excuse to buy a top-of-the-line gaming system

I have been using PlayOn since it was beta. It’s absolutely wonderful. My DVR is paid for, but ancient and lo-def. Playon + Hulu + XBox360 is one of the best things ever

PlayOn is great. I recommend it highly.

I love watching hulu on my xbox via playon. Greatest add on.

Watching old Bob Newhart shows with my family gathered around the TV brings back memories of my youth. Now, I can do the same with my kids. PlayOn lets us all watch great shows together, on our time, on our TV, not crowded around a small computer screen. PlayOn is the best!

Playon is awesome for watching Chuck after the tornado coverage is over.

My b/f picked up PlayOn when we were at PAX East. Now that I’ve seen what it can do it would be awesome to have at my house on my 360.

Great product!!
Jill´s last blog ..EA Sports takes a stab at the used market

I love PlayOn, the only thing holding me back from using it more is the price, would love the lifetime license.

I have been using PlayOn since almost the beginning. There have been up and downs, but the product does what I have needed it to do. The available 3rd party plugins and scripts have been a life saver.
Randy´s last blog ..Whoops! No Radiation For Wifey Today…

This is my comment about PlayOn. Been using it for over a year now – love, love, love it!

I tweeted, facebooked, and read your review.

I agree – I thought the same thing about the quality…I was worried it was going to look horrible scaled up, but not bad at all!

I have been using PlayOn to watch Hulu on my PS3 for more than a year. I reduced cable to the bare minimum basic service last summer and actually prefer watching via PlayOn/Hulu!

PlayOn is grea! Especially with the plugins. Also if you have PS3 and PSP you can do remote play, Hulu on the go yes please!

PlayOn has changed my life, saved my marriage and overall made the world a much nicer place to live in.

Exaggerations aside, it is a totally cool piece of software!
Jeff Mahoney´s last blog ..Hatchlings

I just downloaded Playon last night and all I can say is Im truely impressed…

PlayOn just rocks! ‘Nuff said?

Wooohoooo…PlayOn! Hulu on my TV!

I’ve used PlayOn for a year now. Love it and love all the plugins!

I already purchased a PlayOn license, but if I were to win I’d gladly pass it along to a friend and use the gift card toward Premium service.
Preston´s last blog ..Importance

PlayOn is useful

Playon is awesome. Pick me. Pick me.

DirecTV better watch out. When the storms knock out my sat tv, Playon + WD HD Live still work flawlessly. And for a LOT less than I pay the sat company.

Playon rocks hard metal!

playon is awesome

I already have a lifetime playon license. However, I’ve been really wanting to give playon to my sister So sign me up!

Love PlayOn to watch all MLB.TV games!

Yes! PlayOn is totally the bomb, for sure. I’ve used it since it was in beta. Like most everyone here, I’ll probably donate the license to a needy friend if I win.

The PlayOn staff is very responsive, and they update the software frequently. It’s a good product that works well, and is getting better all the time. It helped my wife get through many sick days at home, taught me who House is and what The Amazing Race is, and has allowed TV to fit into our lives, instead of the other way around.

To anyone just entering this contest to get something for free: if you don’t win, give PlayOn a shot (it’s a free trial) and you just may end up purchasing it.

One technical word of advice: Unless you have a very fast wireless network, use a network cable to connect your PlayOn PC with the router.

Awesome! Thanks for the contest!

I also read the post on the PlayOn site.
Travis´s last blog ..Reading Habits Meme

I read the post on PlayOn and also tweeted about the contest.

PlayOn FTW!!!!

I just retweeted the contest info.

I downloaded the PlayOn trial a few days ago and it works beautifully with the Xbox 360. Just fantastic. Now if I could find a way to use it with my Windows Mobile phone, I’d be ecstatic. Thanks for the great post and contest.
