LMAO!!
I think LP is amazing! 2 years ago, my roomates and I decided to get it, and it was the best money I've ever spent. We live in Chicago, I'm a Rockets fan, one's a Lakers fan, and one's a Pistons fan, and we got all of their games for one flat fee! Splitting the price three ways made it a steal as well.
As far as getting just the internet version, unless something's changed, it's not possible. You could always "go in" with someone (i.e. pay half and get the user id and password from someone who's getting it).
Also, for those who are ambivalent, I think it comes out to around 14 dollars a month, and even if you are buying it just to see one team, it's like 2 bucks a game.
