without running the math, cardrunners is 30% more expensive for CR subs that stoxpoker is for stox subs, I was rather hoping stox members would be happy with a few of the best CR vids and here you are complaining about getting only 10 instead of 13.

I don't. You can call it what you want though.

The benefit of the lower pricing is with the 6 or 12 month memberships.

Since we are dropping our sign-up fee, the monthly price is going up slightly for NEW members ($27.99 per month) but this does not impact the price on existing monthly subscriptions.

IF you signed up for Stoxpoker within the last 30 days AND paid the $99.95 for the first month . . . we will extend your membership for 3 mos for FREE.

We seem to have been starved of SNG content especially verses other forms of poker and Collin does a manful job but he cant produce video after video all on his own. I see that Duderino is an addition but it has been said that he is doing vids for some time but I have yet to see them.
I did PM admin about the lack of content for us SNG'ers but alas no reply.
So will we as SNG players be getting more content?
I don't think all 10 cross vids have been decided on yet.

I am a CR member now considering joining Stox because of the discount. I was wondering if any of your classroom series has been put into IPOD format so I can watch them on the bus, like DC has done. Have you put any into that format? Do you anticipate doing it?

Who do we contact for this, since I signed up less than a week ago, or will it be done automatically?

Our downloaded content can only be viewed using windows media player, until that is supported by the IPOD I don't think this will be possible.

We will be making those adjustments to add 3 mos to members accounts if they paid the $99.95 in the last 30 days. Those should be completed in the next 72 hrs.

The financial structure/ownership of the two websites is ultimately what definies how you would refer to this announcement. We are not disclosing that information publicly.

The result for current and potential subscribers of both stoxpoker and cardrunners is that they recieve the various benefits outlined in the two press releases, and the website properties are too remain seperate.

i think this may or may not be great
i find stox poker helpful to retool my games
i have never view CR videos
but i'm sure they are very helpful too.
the problem is
i barely catching up with stox's video.
i think this well be good fro fulltime players without day job.

Any other way besides text message to get this 24 hour trial?
09-09-2008 , 04:07 PM
Merger cliff notes:

No signup fee at Stoxpoker.

Discounts for either site if you have a subscription at the other one.

Even more coaches at Stoxpoker, even more videos.

Merger cliff notes cliff notes:

You get more stuff for less money.

Hang tight and we'll get that out to you later in the week.

Hi awvdh . . . if already a paying member of both sites, then you will receive a discount of about 25% on your CR membership when you renew it via an add-on to your Stoxpoker membership.

In addition, you are going to be getting even more videos and several new series through our revamped release schedule and the addition of 11 new coaches.

Thanks

What I'm Thinking Cliff Notes:

I don't care about the signup fees, I've already been stiffed for it

Why would anyone want a subscription for both sites, given the new positioning...unless they happen to be 1. an advanced microstakes player (?) or 2. have a great deal of time on their hands and enjoy watching poker videos for entertainment

More coaches / content sounds promising...as long as the material is good, this should be the real benefit for existing Stox members playing micro / small stakes

If there is a genuine desire to create the focus described in point 2 of the announcement then it seems odd NOT to make the CR micro / small stakes content available on Stoxpoker and vice versa for Stox "advanced" content

No worries, you'll be getting access to quality videos from Duderiono or another winning low-stakes pro shortly.

Seems to me that people like myself who are members of both sites are getting screwed, especially if the videos from each site going to the other site replace normal new content! Additionally I'd rather just get my $100 back than 3 free months on stox...
09-10-2008 , 01:59 AM
The cross-promotional content will not be replacing any normally scheduled content on either website, it's strictly bonus.
09-10-2008 , 05:42 AM
So exactly how much does a dual membership for 12 months cost?

Thanks
09-10-2008 , 06:13 AM
If the low limit stuff from Cardrunners is now going to be on Stox doesn't this mean that CR members will have to pay to join Stox to get what they were getting previously from CR alone?
