    If you paid for the game you should have access to the show

    The whole premise of Defiance is the immersion level between the game and the show. Trion and Syfy need to work out a way for gamers to have easy and unrestricted access to the show as soon as it airs to keep up with the storyline. Anyone with cable tv can watch the show, without spending extra money to do so (not everyone has cable tv in their home like myself. i don't usually watch tv). We as gamers have paid out of pocket for the game of Defiance, and without the show, it just becomes any other game. We were promised a level of immersion no other developer has attempted before. In now way, shape, or form should we have to spend extra money for digital services to achieve that.

    If you expected that buying access to the game would ALSO buy access to the show, were you not suprised that the price of the game was so low? $60 USD or 60 EUR is in line with the price of most stand alone games. It would seem to me that purchase of access to the show content SHOULD be priced separately.

    One of the few moments where the word "entitled" is actually applicable. (reference to bioware)

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    For Xbox owners, I would imagine it would show up in the SyFy app soon. It will be up for download on all the usuals too if not already.

    You have access to the internet right? Doesn't that mean you can access everything for free anyway? at you own risk of course.

    personally I think it would be awesome if they hosted and online viewing for account holders only (without the region lock ********) at the same time as the shows first airing, so that those without cable or an american household and TV can watch it straight away.

    I mean, for me its the next day now (12:13 AM on the 16th) but hey, it's like a few hours later... *shrug*

    If you cant watch it there, I don't know what to tell you - get better internets, or something.
