Is it worth 65 dollars?

Depends on what you like to spend your $$ on and if you are a big bowling fan and have the time to watch it.  Not sure on the whole cost thing annual vs. monthly.
 
I enjoyed watching the WSOB and TOC qualifying blocks and match play.   Most of that was better than the TV show. 
 
Their interviews are much better because of the ability to have the time vs. TV.  Those that were interviewed this past week at the TOC.  Today Hank Boomershine (explained the new VG Nano coming out) and John Jowdy.  Earlier this week Del Ballard.  Is there anyone more funny than Baldo on bowling?   Lenny Nicholson aka The Phantom is the best story teller from past PBA years on lane maintenance, the lefty/rightie thing and other past PBA stories.  Lenny is amazing at his ability to re-tell a story. 
EBI brand managers and Big B's Chuck Gardner also were interviewed at the WSOB.
So for the subscriber who enjoys this sort of thing it's well worth it. 
 
Most people that haven't viewed XtraFrame really don't know what's on it.  BTW....if you don't have the ability at home for a decent download speed it maybe an issue.   XtraFrame is much better than it was when it was introduced.  This also maybe the way bowling fans will be able to see bowling in the future.

Example......Doug Kent just shot 300 during match play vs. Bill ONeill.  It maybe too late for Dougie "Fresh" but he jumped a lot.

I signed up for the monthly $6.99 plan, just to see the whole TOC.  It's far more entertaining than I thought it would be.  Doug Kent's 300 was fun and the 3rd block of match play should be intense.  I plan on cancelling before it automatically renews.

 

I wouldn't pay $65 for the entire year, but for a tournament like this it's worth the seven bucks!

 Worth every penny, you get to see the action as it happens, and you get to see the part of the tournaments, that unless you were there you would never see.
  Walter Ray 2 single pin misses in a 8 game block, Doug Kent throwing a Roto Grip Therory for 300.

7.99  a year is right at 90, so yearly is a good price.
 
I cold definitely see it being worth 65 if they covered other tournaments, such as the webber cup or things like that that are overseas that we dont get to see.
