SKY+

Sorry if this asks the obvious, but if i already have standard Sky and i
wish to upgrade to Sky+ it is going to cost me £99 plus a extra £10 a month
extra whatever package i am on. Now i do not mind the £99, but another
tenner, if that is right what a rip off.
TIA

The extra £10 is only payable if your package does not include premium
channels. ie if you don't get films or sport.

a 'rip off' is when you have no choice. You have a choice.

If you order Sky+ you can opt for multiroom to have sky in another room.
This will cost you £10 extra. If you don't have multiroom you will also pay
£10 unless you have premium channels.
So its actually worth the £10 extra to get multiroom and sky+ in the same
deal.

No, a rip-off is asking significantly more than a product/service is
worth.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with choice, nor does anyone actually
have to buy the product or service for it to be a rip-off.

For example: designer jeans are a rip-off. They are no better quality
than the average £10 Tesco pair and probably come from the same
Chinese or Moroccan sweatshop anyway.

No, because the £10 multiroom payment is on top of the £10 Sky+
payment.

You don't have to buy it.

Sound more like jealousy.
I can't afford it - must be a rip off...

agreed, to me a rip off is when you have no choice. You are only 'ripped
off' if you have to pay, usually because of the circumstances, such as
buying popcorn at the cinema, food at an airport, etc. Designer jeans arent
a 'rip off, because you arent forced to buy them, since you have a
choice,say Gucci jeans or Tesco's, Guccis arent a rip off, they are just
expensive or costly or overpriced depending on your POV.

.....plus they have a label that says 'Gucci' which to some people (probably
most of the ones buying them ) is worth every penny of the extra cost.
Hence, no rip off.

I once visited a factory in Mauritius that made those La Coste Polo Shirts.
You could buy them without the croc logo for about £2, or with it stuck on,
for a tenner or so. Were people who bought them for a tenner of their own
free will being 'ripped off'? I dont think so, they thought it was worth it
for the little croc and the status they felt it gave them.
