Might very well be the first money I spend on an esport event. Decently cheap, starts at an acceptable swedish time even though it's still running way too late, placed in a weekend where both friday and monday are free from work. Lines up nicely.

Hmm weird, for some reason I cannot pay for it via PayPal at the moment. Hopefully just a temporary problem.

And well that price is amazing, something where I finally don't need to fight with myself. That said I hope that TwitchTV can finally manage to stream to Europe or more directly in my case to Germany without all those issues at 720p/1080p.
I honestly doubt it but with 5€ I can't go that much wrong at least ;P

The reason this is 5$ is probably because Twitch.tv doesn't offer any other subscription deals at the moment. 5$ is the amount you pay to subscribe any channel on Twtich.tv which supports it, like Day[9]. So you guys eager to subscribe should also thank Twitch.tv for not making any special deals for IGN for this.

Humm, i'm sure the price tag is from IPL decision and not twitch.
I would be ok with 480p, but since i endorse this kind of approach to a pay model, i will definetely buy the pass.
5$ for IPL4 in 1080 is amazingingly good price. I mean i know everyone is used to MLG overpriced HD, but this is what i would call fair for an weekend event. In my spectator view.
I understand that stronger economy's can find 20$ cheap, but i saw way too many people from there complaining about the price, so i guess it is a two way there too.

IPL still broadcasts almost everyday which is a super nice add-on and suplement content for the monthly subscription.
But i feel that most of the people will cancel after the big offline events which is kinda understandable.

Goodjob IPL.

$5 is very reasonable, and I will be purchasing, but it is pretty annoying that this is attached to a subscription model. I know it is just an extra minute or two to unsubscribe, but is it really necessary to have it set up this way?

MLG: 20$ for 3 days of a tournament in an apartment.

IPL: 5$ for a tournament and GSTL finals at a luxury casino and month of other events.

Seems legit.

no seriously, 5 $ for this is awesome.
I think its fair price, I know that some people are saying how this worth more, and they would probably pay more. but look this way, with this price many people will pay, including myself, if it was more I think I would not have money.
Its a lot in my country.

I like to support Starcraft, but I never have that much to buy GSL ticket.

Thank you very much for fair price and I know many people will enjoy good matches in upcoming weekend.

Cant wait

I cannot begin to explain how great of a company IGN/IPL is. They actually try to interact with fans and improve. Such a great deal and also very good for you guys giving something in return for those who bought the IGNPrime. Will be buying my ticket tomorrow!

Well of course you have to get a return on your investment somehow -- hope it all works out! I look forward to you guys succeeding because you have been operating completely admirably this entire time, and I'm so glad you stuck with SC2 this long; when you guys were first starting out I was hoping IPL would continue far past its initial 5000$ tournament or whatever it was, I feel like it may have been even less but I may be wrong.

good luck, keep up the amazing production values and honest business practices.

e-- at 5$ I can't see myself not buying this when the weekend comes for IPL vegas, as long as there's 5$ in my bank.

Definitely agree with you, 50 - 60$ per year would be totally worth it
