Comments on: XM Vs Sirius http://www.sportsgamerblog.com/2006/01/28/xm-vs-sirius/ Two guys who love Sports Gaming on their PCs and consoles rant and rave about various stuff.

It really comes down to personal preference. <br/><br/>Musically, I prefer Sirius. I love music, but I'm not John Cusack from High Fidelity, and there are a lot of songs on XM where I have never even heard of the artist. Sirius seems a little more manageable for me in that there's always something on that I know and like. Plus, Sirius has the dedicated jam band channel, and I love that. Also, the Chill station is perfect for racing games (beats the hell out of EA Trax.) <br/><br/>At the same time, I appreciate the depth XM has. I'm guaranteed to hear something new every time. The bottom line is that while it's a luxury to have both, I feel that I get my money's worth each month. I have both, and honestly they’re both worth $13/month if you love music and sports.

I've heard some comedians that I haven't heard in years on there. I like the NFL package on Sirius, being able to listen to either team’s broadcast for a football game is pretty entertaining.

If they don't but Stern makes you laugh, then Sirius is better by a little. XM is better overall in music offerings in my opinion(XM for 3 years, Sirius for 1 year). But Sirius has some niche stuff, if you need that niche stuff, then Sirius is the only answer. If Opie & Anthony make you laugh, then XM is the best for sure.
