On top of all of this, they ask you for credit card information for a "free trial" subscription

and although I disliked giving up my credit card information up front since I was in the free trial period, having access to 48-hours of usage for only $5 is very affordable weekend fun.

I got a free 1 month trial to mess around with this, and I did appreciate the membership options once my trial membership is up

You get a free trial subscription so you can try it and see how you like it

The graphics are clear and look really good on our HD TV.. the videos are bold colors and professionally done through "The Karaoke Channel" from which you have a 30 day free trial to when you purchase this system

Only comment is the touch sensor on the remote control takes some time to get used to and the microphone quality isn't very loud or crisp as I would like

this to me is a huge flaw, therefore, I cannot even enjoy this system as well as I would like to because it's a huge hassle for us to do this... that and having to pay for a subscription to the streaming app when the system itself cost nearly $300 and really should include more than 30 day trial for dropping that kind of dough to use - for those reasons I have to dock my rating 2 stars down to 3 out of 5.
