@XxRANGAxX: 
  • The site will be formatted for mobile if you go to m.giantbomb.com (the main reason I'm considering the investment.)
  • You'll get access to the Whiskey Media Happy Hour
  • HD Video downloads

@zegolf: Don't quote me on this, and I think I might be wrong, but  think they are still figuring out something special to the Giant Bombcast. A video Bombcast will be with the 50 bucks a year alone.

@Stealthmaster86: Yeah, it sounds like they're going to be constantly adding more and more content to, not only GB, but also to the rest of the Whiskey Media sites.  Every day gets tougher and tougher to keep from "donating."

As a UK resident, much of the stuff is hard to reason with, since my connection sucks, i don't need high-quality video, and my timezone is all effed up with regards to everything in which they involve users . However, once something tangible happens, I will be signing up.

Same - still, I appreciate the HD vids and downloads as my connection is OK and the prospect of a video Bombcast is just too good to pass up on, surely?

Well he mainly just wanted to support the site, y'know. And now he wants to know the details of what he gets in the membership.

Same here, man. Like exactly the same. The Happy Hour's archived, and the mobile site is unexpectedly awesome and useful - read the Fable 3 review while eating my breakfast in the pub this morning.
 
Also, got my t shirt this morning. It's nice.

A fuzzy feeling in your tummy that you are helping the site and getting to watch the Friday show.

Really? I'd have to go with Ryan, simply because I imagine him having a very hard grip. Wait, this is silver level, right? I think I heard something about gold level subscribers getting blowjobs. Any truth to that?

I didn't realise one of the benefits was the ability to make pointless threads like this.

For the subscription you get:

  • Access to the mobile site
  • HD Videos
  • Video Downloads
  • The Happy Hour live show (and the archived version if you're unable to watch it live)
  • A warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing that you've helped support an awesome website
  • No adverts (yearly subscription only)
  • An awesome T-shirt (yearly subscription only)
 
And coming at some point in the future once they figure out specifics of how to do it:
  • Access to servers for certain PC games
  • An video download RSS feed

@PaulM: Oh, yeah, I totally have no problem with any ads that have ever been run on this site.  It's not like IGN or Destructoid where the website IS the advertisement.

Pretty much nothing.
A mobile site? Whopdeedoo. They have a iphone/ipodtouch app for that (but I noticed they've disabled the ability to watch videos on it, thanks for telling us nothing was changing with the subscriptions). HD video? Other sites offer that for free. Happy Hour? You want to pay 50$ a year for that?

I can be banned just like an individual not subscribed. Ps and Qs. And push the boundaries. Push... but be pleasant about it.
