Yup, cheaper for me as I want HBO; could do without SINemax, but it comes with HBO.

Understand - there is a fairly steep price jump between 300 and 450 or the movie packages that include HBO. I would love it if it were free............. forever...........
Keep in mind:
U-300 is $82 a month. U-450 is $112 a month, but includes the $10 Sports Pack (soon to undergo a change in programming, discussed in another thread), the $10 HD fee, and the $24 HBO/Cinemax pack.
$82 plus $14 for HBO is $96. Add another $10 for HD, and you're at $106. By that point, it almost becomes a wash to get the U-450 over everything "a la carte."

Nothing personal - I love the folks who call Cinemax, Skinemax or SINemax. They were a lot worse (maybe better if that is how you roll?) and more risqué in the 1980's than they are now. They are darned near tame!

I used to have Cinemax 7-8 years ago. I see that they are still showing some of the same 'late night' movies I had Tivo'd back then...except now they have even-more-watered-down versions, with many shots deleted. I don't understand why since it's not like it was hard core to begin with.
U450 Free Preview
- VIP U450 Free Preview over the Thanksgiving holiday November 25 - 28, 2010, 12am-12pm CST.

This free preview includes all channels in the U450 package such as HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz, and Encore plus On Demand channels, HD On Demand Channels, and of course all other HD channels available in the U450 package.

HBO/MAX Free Preview

- All 52 HBO/MAX SD and HD channels will be available plus all HBO/MAX On Demand and HD On Demand channels.
Note: Our HBO/MAX Free Preview coincides with the U450 Free Preview (November 25 - 28, 2010). Since some of these premium channels may contain adult material it is important to set your parental controls accordingly.
Let's not forget about the free VOD!!
Glad the free preview is coming!
Personally, we've never cared for Cinemax programming, even in the olden days! 
I would drop it, but it's attached to HBO.
I'll never forget when the in-laws came to stay for a week, and one of Cinemax's late night rompers appeared...m-i-l was horrified! But, she didn't stop watching.

Oh my! Same thing happened to me in the 80's when my aunt and uncle visited from Missouri - same reaction. Her mouth went wide open - but she carefully turned so she could get a better view of the screen. Funny stuff!
