Since the normal release of TRS has been moved back a day was there any discussion of an early release for the people who subscribe to Rev3? Perhaps similar to diggnation being released early to suscribers.

I disapprove.
i second this disapproval!
i like the fact that we all get it at once and then get on here to discuss. if some got an early release then the eppisode would be given away here.

I don't know if that's really such a big deal. Not everyone watches the show at the same time as it is either...
But yes, non-subscribers would have to sort of steer away from spoilers unless they want them...
I personally don't really care either way...

I don't get it. They moved it to Wednsdays because there was bandwidth issues on Tuesday because Diggnation releases to the general public.
So wouldn't there still potentially be bandwidth issues releasing it early to subscribers at the original time?

Well, Diggnation moved to Mondays, and since not nearly as many people subscribe as download the show, no I don't think there'd be the same issues.

Ok, this is a terrible idea. I would be getting spoilers for the show all the time, and most of the board populace wouldn't get to talk about the show until later. We need to all get it at once, in my opinion.

Agreed, I also think that diggnation should go live to everyone at the same time. It's silly that they have an early edition that anyone can get to if they just read the comments when that episode goes live. Jay doesn't like it, and i would be pissed if i was a subscriber.

I agree. At the very least, I think there should other reasons for subscription(and this isn't anything complicated) than getting Diggnation 2 days early.
What could they do?(some of these would likely come with an increased membership price)
-HD or higher quality shows for subscribers
-Subscribers only forum
-Revision3 email
-"Free" t-shirt/hat/stickers with sign-up
-REAL members only content
-Other exclusive content/access(chat with Rev3, wallpapers, skins)
I realize that subscribing is all about "supporting" Revision3, and I'm not trying to suggest anything outlandish that would cost them money. And I'm sure they have plenty of subscribers as is, which explains why they haven't listened to any of this for the past half a year, but it seems like there should be something more than just getting Diggnation 2 days early and in its existence, 2 "members only" videos.

720P WMV for subscribers would be awesome.
